Herman Melville (New York, 1819-1891) es una de las principales figuras de la historia de la literatura. Cuatro años a bordo de un ballenero, en los mares del Sur, le inspiraron un buen número de novelas de aventuras: Typee (1846) y Omoo (1847) se basan en sus vivencias en las islas Marquesas; Redburn (1849) y La guerra blanca (1850) describen las duras y degradantes condiciones de vida en la marina. Su obra maestra, en la que vertió magistralmente todas sus inquietudes y su talento literario, fue Moby Dick (1851).
