Book Release Party: Melville's Moby Dick with new design by Dmitry Samarov


Herman Melville’s fever dream of obsession and failure gets a raw, modern edge in this edition, designed and illustrated by Dmitry Samarov. Using 19th-century photos as his muse, Samarov’s gritty sketches strip the story down to its visceral core. This isn’t just a reprint. It’s a reawakening...Published in 1851, Moby-Dick feels eerily relevant today: a messy, sprawling dive into hubris, madness, and the fragile male ego. Samarov calls it like he sees it, blending Melville’s timeless chaos with a sharp, 21st-century lens. Whether it’s saving your sanity or sinking your ship, this is a version that doesn’t flinch. May 10: book talk with publisher Mallory Smart and artist/designer Dmitry Samarov books will be available for sale https://store.dmitrysamarov.com/product/moby-dick/
