About the Author

Herman Melville was an American novelist best known for his work Moby-Dick. While his first three books gained much attention when he was alive, before his death his popularity declined and he was almost forgotten. It was not until the Melville Revival in the 20th century that his great masterpiece, Moby-Dick, won the recognition it deserved.
The manga adaptation was created by Variety Art Works, a manga production studio noted for sales topping 2.8 million copies.
