Herman Melville, escritor, poeta e ensaísta norte-americano, morre em Nova York em 28 de setembro de 1891, aos 72 anos, em total obscuridade. O obituário do jornal The New York Times registrava o nome como "Henry Melville". Embora tenha obtido grande sucesso no início da carreira, sua popularidade foi decaindo ao longo dos anos. Faleceu sem conhecer o sucesso que sua mais importante obra, o romance "Moby Dick", alcançaria no século XX. O livro foi publicado em 1851 sob o título de "A Baleia", não obtendo sucesso de crítica.
