"Boredom is a prevalent theme in Herman Melville's works. The author contends that in Melville's mature work, especially Moby Dick, boredom presents itself as an insidious presence in the lives of Melville's characters, until it matures from being a mere killer of time into a killer of souls"--Provided by publisher.
