Kaloolah

Résumé du livre

William Starbuck Mayo, a physician from Ogdensburg, N.Y., and rival of literary icon Herman Melville, authored "Kaloolah," a lost-race novel and adventure/romance, set in the Sahara and Central Africa. His novel was a runaway bestseller in New York and London in 1849. We now know that his writings influenced Melville in his writing of "Moby-Dick." This edition has been edited and annotated by Robert W. Lebling, and includes an introduction that details the literary connections between Mayo and Melville.
