It s beautifully written in simple but brilliant prose, a novel of an ordinary life, an examination of a quiet tragedy, the work of a great but little-known writer" (Ruth Rendell Guardian ) "A masterpiece of sad lucidity, as moving as it is psychologically compelling" (Peter Kemp Sunday Times ) "It is a remarkably affecting story, told in quiet, unshowy prose" (Stefan Collini Times Literary Supplement ) "In recent times I have owed more to word of mouth than to the statements of reviewers, when it comes to finding my way to rewarding work published or reissued This is also true, or truer still, of Stoner " (Karl Miller Times Literary Supplement ) "My favourite book of the year...a masterpiece―beautifully written with a rare tenderness
梅尔维尔（1819-1891）是美国著名作家，他十八岁开始在捕鲸船、商船上与美国海军中当水手。这些经历，不但磨炼了他的意志，也使他获得了比陆地工作更丰富的生活知识，为其日后的文学创作打下了厚实的基础。《白鲸记》是他的代表作之一。全书讲述了捕鲸船长亚哈和南太洋上一条名叫莫比 迪克的白鲸之间的故事。被白鲸咬掉了一条腿的亚哈船长心中燃烧着复仇的怒火，他指挥着航船行遍世界大洋，只为追踪这条令人闻之色变的*鲸，甚至不惜以命相搏 整个故事以惟一得以逃生的水手伊希梅尔自叙的方式展开，不仅详述了捕鲸人在大海中追击白鲸的经历，而且对生命的现象、人生的光明和阴暗、大自然的神秘莫测、生与死的哲学等亦有探讨。
