Description
"Melville's audacious epic Moby-Dick has at last found an illustrator equal to its mercurial text. While filling our eyes with archetypal visions of whales, ships, and ocean deeps, Robert Del Tredici also dazzles us with the shimmering pyrotechnics of narrator Ishmael's mind. His large-format color silkscreens and pen-and-ink illustrations let us see Melville's masterpiece as if for the first time. This postmodern take on the great American novel boldy returns readers to the book's roots as a transcendental vision of man and nature." "Floodgates of Wonderworld includes incisive commentaries by noted Melville scholars Elizabeth Schultz, Robert Wallace, and Jill Gidmark. They discuss the influence of Del Tredici's images on students and scholars; the relationship of his work to other Moby-Dick illustrators; and the technical and aesthetic aspects of the silkscreen process.". "In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Moby-Dick, this remarkable body of work is sure to impress the literary and artistic communities with its stunning vision of this great American novel."--BOOK JACKET.
