His first two books gained much attention, though they were not bestsellers, and his popularity declined precipitously only a few years later. By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, \u003ci\u003eMoby-Dick\u003c\/i\u003e--largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville's fall from favor with the reading public--was rediscovered in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Herman Melville \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":48944082354333,"sku":"9781454965787","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_03455171-0dc2-4b33-b174-b1f1a5bce2a6.jpg?v=1790153812","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/moby-dick-9781454965787","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
