Synopsis

In this outstanding work, Ishmael, the narrator, recounts the epic story of the insane quest that he becomes a part of as he boards the whaleship Pequod. It is the story of Captain Ahab, the vengeful whaler and his pursuit of Moby Dick, the elusive white whale, who on a previous voyage destroyed his boat and left Ahab a crippled and obsessive monomaniac. The insanity and the blind need for vengeance evoke fear and doubt in his crew members as Ahab threatens to lead the ship and all its members to an adventurous, yet increasingly, precarious culmination. Will Ahab recognize his own madness before the high seas of vengeance? This classic edition is a must-read for all! • This hardbound edition comes with gilded edges, a ribbon bookmark, and beautiful endpapers • It proves to be infinitely open to interpretation and discovery • A chock-full of sea adventures • An insightful and fascinating read • The epic tale will keep you hooked to the pages

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The writing career of Herman Melville (1819–1891) peaked early, with his early novels, such as Typee becoming best sellers. By the mid-1850s his poularity declined sharply, and by the time he died he had been largely forgotten. Yet in time his novel Moby Dick came to be regarded as one of the finest works of American, and indeed world, literature, as was Billy Budd, which was not published until long after his death, in 1924.
