恰逢作家赫尔曼•梅尔维尔（Herman Melville）出生200周年纪念之际，这本生动逼真、引人注目、渲染美丽的立体书重新讲述了《白鲸》的故事，是一本让人叹为观止的奇迹之作。这本书籍的亚麻油毡浮雕插画丰富多彩，描绘了书中按时间顺序安排的十个重大时刻，采用立体纸雕艺术风格，这些立体书页能让读者沉浸在精心打造的细节中，并为解读经典提供新视角。书中的每一版面都包含引自《白鲸》的精选语录，简短的页面注释能为这些所描绘的情节时刻增添额外的语境。书中引人注目的版式以真正的大开本形式呈现，这是以书籍工艺和故事讲述形式表现的一次奇遇。

"In Herman Melville's bicentennial year, which he shares with Walt Whitman, Chronicle Books has published a new pop-up retelling of his most famous work, Moby-Dick. Alongside striking typography, the rich linocut artworks by French artist Joëlle Jolivet portray ten key chronological moments in shadowbox style. Argentinian paper engineer Gérard Lo Monaco then applied his talents to the mechanical side of things.
Melville completists and pop-up devotees will not want to miss out on what the publisher calls 'an adventure in book craft and storytelling.'"
