The novel evokes a sense of the early 20th century's cultural conflicts, showcasing the tension between traditional values and emerging modernity through the lens of Mr. Perrin's life and choices. Hugh Walpole, a distinguished British author, was known for his deep engagement with themes of individuality and moral responsibility, likely influenced by his own experiences during a rapidly transforming social landscape. Born into a literary family and educated at Oxford, Walpole's diverse career as a novelist, playwright, and biographer enriched his understanding of human nature, evident in the poignant characterization found in this work. His ability to capture the subtleties of human emotion draws upon his own philosophical inquiries, making his narratives ring with authenticity.

    Its famous opening line, "Call me Ishmael", dramatic in its stark simplicity, begins an epic that is widely regarded as the greatest novel ever written by an American. Labeled variously a realistic story of whaling, a romance of unusual adventure and eccentric characters, a symbolic allegory, and a drama of heroic conflict, Moby Dick is first and foremost a great story. It has both the humor and poignancy of a simple sea ballad, as well as the depth and universality of a grand odyssey. 
    When Melville's father died in 1832, the young man's financial security went too. For a while he turned to school-mastering and clerking, but failed to make a sustainable income. In 1840 he signed up on the whaler, Acushnet, out of New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was just 21. A whaler's life turned out to be both arduous and dangerous, and in 1842, Melville deserted ship. Out of this experience and a wealth of printed sources, Melville crafted his masterpiece.
