I samma stund som Ismael hör kapten Ahab berätta om valen som tog hans ben inser han att Ahabs hämndlystna jakt på något sätt också är hans egen. I vad som ofta kallats den största amerikanska romanen får vi följa besättningen på skeppet Pequod i deras sökande efter den mytomspunna vita valen Moby Dick. Det blir ett sökande som driver dem till gränsen för vad den mänskliga viljan och besattheten är kapabel till, och ställer dem öga mot öga med naturens obeveklighet. D. H. Lawrence kallade romanen »en av världens märkligaste och mest underbara böcker«, William Faulkner önskade att han själv skrivit den, och Bob Dylan har lyft fram den som en av sina viktigaste inspirationskällor. Moby Dick publicerades 1851 och räknas som en av litteraturhistoriens stora romaner. Här i översättning av Hugo Hultenberg.
HERMAN MELVILLE [1819-1891], född i New York, var en amerikansk författare och poet. Som tjugoåring tog han anställning som sjöman på ett handelsfartyg med vilket han seglade till Franska Polynesien, där han mönstrade av. Hans erfarenheter till sjöss kom sedan att ligga till grund för flera av hans böcker, inte minst mästerverket Moby Dick. I dag betraktas Melville som en av de största amerikanska författarna.

En sjöman, som vill att vi kallar honom Ismael (vi får aldrig veta hans riktiga namn), kommer en iskall vinterkväll till värdshuset Valfisken i New Bedford. Några lediga rum finns dessvärre inte, och Ismael tvingas välja mellan att tillbringa natten utomhus eller att dela säng med en tatuerad kannibal, harpuneraren Queequeg. Ismael väljer efter stor vånda att sova med Queequeg, och till hans stora förvåning blir de snabbt bästa vänner. Ismael och Queequeg gör sällskap till Nantucket och bestämmer sig för att ge sig ut på valfångstresa tillsammans. Skeppet de mönstrar på heter Pequod. Fartygets oinskränkte härskare är kapten Ahab, vars ena ben blivit avslitet av Moby Dick, en jättelik vit kaskelot. Efter att under lång tid dolt sig för besättningen i sin kajuta träder Ahab en morgon fram och avslöjar att syftet med resan inte är det sedvanliga: att döda så många valar som möjligt. Nej, det är endast en val som måste dö: den vita valen, Moby Dick. Den hämndlystne Ahab är beredd att satsa allt i kampen mot sin fiende. Pequods resa är från och med nu en färd mot undergång eller seger, hämnd eller död. Moby Dick av Herman Melville är det stora amerikanska nationaleposet, ett mästerverk vars skiftande berättartekniker, hisnande perspektiv och profetiska prosa ger en läsupplevelse som både är tidlös och chockerande, modern och uråldrig, undflyende och djupt meningsfull. Historien om kapten Ahab och Moby Dick är berättelsen om en kamp som aldrig upphör, den mellan människa och natur, mellan Gud och Satan, mellan tro och vetenskap.

Denna bok är ett dokument över ett sjömansliv och hur sjöfolk för ca femtio år sedan levde och tjänstgjorde i den svenska handelsflottan. Man låg ute på resa i 3–7 månader eller mer och var därmed borta från sina nära och kära under långa perioder utan internet, TV och mobiltelefon. Världen tedde sig enorm och lockande, men faror lurade i form av alkohol, ensamhet och tvivelaktiga förbindelser. Författaren berättar om sina upplevelser som sjöman och styrman. Vidare seglade han senare som kapten i rederiet Dalen & Fraternitas. Boken utspelar sig ombord på M/S Mirrabooka (Södra Korset på urinnevånarnas språk i Australien), en styckegodsare och rederiet var Transatlantic. Att som styrman göra en lastplan var ett ansvarsfullt arbete och det gällde att lasten placerades rätt i fartyget för trim och en effektiv lossning. Det gällde även att lastplanera för säkerhet när exempelvis lasten innehöll många kubikmeter med svenska tändstickor. En flicka i varje hamn myntade någon men det var inte alltid sant, svenska sjömän var populära bland många personer ur alla samhällsskikt och hemmet var avlägset. Läs denna spännande berättelse från en annan tid och då speciellt om katastrofen med M/S Marauni vid North Island, Nya Zeeland. En vinterorkan rasar och Mirrabookas besättning räddar sex sjömän. Nio gick tyvärr hopplöst förlorade. Välkommen ombord på M/S Mirrabooka och träd in i en svunnen värld.

Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr
Häftad, Svenska, 2022

Skickas
Edgar Allan Poes enda avslutade roman Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr (1838) tar sin början på valfångarön Nantucket utanför New Englands kust och slutar bland de skrämmande isbergen på den outforskade Sydpolen. Det beryktade sjöäventyret har gått till historien som en av de mest fasansväckande, gåtfulla och udda romaner som skrivits.
Betraktad som ett obscent fiasko när den ursprungligen publicerades, kom romanen - liksom hela Poes författarskap - efter hans död att omvärderas och anses som ett av den västerländska litteraturens ikoniska verk - en klassiker som satt otaliga spår i vår litteratur. Den som läser romanen idag kommer känna igen många av de litterära grepp och teman Poe gjort till sitt signum - den geniala blandningen av vetenskaplig korrekthet och dramatiserade, emotionella scener. Allt framfört på ett musikaliskt språk som å ena sidan kännetecknas av en klinisk precision, å andra sidan svämmar över av stilistiska ornament och egensinniga språkbroderier.
Till denna utgåva har författaren och kritikern Gabriella Håkansson skrivit ett djuplodande efterord som belyser ofta förbisedda aspekter hos Poes epokgörande roman, såsom de sociala omständigheterna kring bokens tillkomst, äventyrsromanens plats i det amerikanska nationsbygget, den ideologiska rasismen och Poes grava alkoholism.

'Excellent in basically every imaginable way' IRISH INDEPENDENTA revelatory meditation on humanity' GUARDIAN'De Tores builds Selkirk’s world with detail and patience – it’s an impressive imaginative feat' THE TIMES'Beautiful, fascinating, heartbreaking, philosophically engaging – and often very funny' JO HARKINHow big must a man’s folly be, that it can cost him the whole of his life? As big as a ship; as big as an island.1704: Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk has been abandoned by his own shipmates on a remote, uninhabited island. With little hope of rescue, and wild goats and cats as his only companions, he is forced to confront not only the urgent challenges of survival, but also the troubled, unsavoury past that has brought him here. What kind of man is deliberately stranded by his crew, to face near-certain death?On the island, he must use his grit, tenacity and ingenuity to survive. As his isolation deepens, Selkirk’s experience takes an extraordinary and often blackly comic turn, for the island’s consolations prove as unexpected as its trials. The longer he is stranded, the more Selkirk wonders if he will ever escape the island, and in what ways he will be changed if he does.A tale of adventure and endurance, isolation and friendship, despair and hope, this gripping, singular novel asks who we are – and who we become – when everything else is stripped away.In Cast Away, award-winning author Francesca de Tores boldly reimagines the real-life story of Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for the classic novel Robinson Crusoe. The world knows Crusoe’s story – yet what unfolds on Selkirk’s island is stranger by far . . .

April 1814. Napoleon is deposed and exiled after defeat by a resurgent allied collation. Saddled with huge war debts, the British government has no choice but to place many of its naval ships in reserve. Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is one of the lucky officers not to be put on half pay. Instead, in the realisation of his life's ambition, he is offered an admiral's flag, but the station is West Africa and with it comes anti-slavery operations set in fever-ridden swamps. Despite the obvious dangers and hardships, Kydd readies for sea with his beloved Thunderer as his flagship. But before he can set sail comes the electrifying news - the tyrant has escaped from Elba and is marching on Paris, the citizens flocking to join him. Napoleon's invasion fleet is still in being and if the French navy declares for him they can sail from the ports now free of blockade and make the invasion of England a reality. What's more, the entire Channel Fleet has been stood down, its ships in various stages of repair. There's one man in active service who happens to be on the spot - Admiral Sir Thomas Kydd. With frantic haste he's appointed temporary commander-in-chief to sail with all the men-o'-war that can be scraped together to stand athwart the French. Waterloo is coming but before then Kydd must use all his legendary subterfuge and daring to save England from her peril. Admiral is the twenty seventh and last of the adventures of Captain Sir Thomas Kydd whose story began in the year 1793 and tells for the first time in fiction how a pressed man through his bravery and ingenuity progresses to the quarterdeck of his own ship, and here, in the final book of the series, the command of a fleet with an admiral's pennant.

Quite simply the best book about a whale since Moby Dick. The Idiot Gods is an epic tale of a quest for a new way of life on earth, told by an orca. David Zindell returns to the grand themes of Neverness in this uniquely moving book. When Arjuna of the Blue Aria Family encounters three signs of cataclysm, he leaves his home in the Arctic Ocean to seek out the Idiot Gods and ask us why we are destroying the world. But the whales’ ancient Song of Life is beyond our understanding, and we know nothing of the Great Covenant between our kinds. Arjuna is captured, starved, tortured and made to do tricks in a tiny pool at Sea Circus.His love for a human linguist gives him hope, even as he despairs that other people twist his words and continue the worldwide slaughter. As the whales' beloved Ocean turns toward the Blood Solstice the fate of humanity hangs in the balance: for if Arjuna gains the Voice of Death he could destroy mankind. But if understanding can prevail, he may, through the whales’ mysterious power of quenging, create a new Song of Life and enable human evolution to unfold.
