Moby-Dick

Average rating

Based on 505,624 Ratings and 17,969 Reviews

Book Description
Melville's most ambitious and sumptuously written novel, Moby-Dick remains one of the greatest seafaring adventure stories of all time. With the famous opening line "Call me Ishmael", a young sailor begins his tale of Captain Ahab's obsessional search for the great white whale which long ago took his leg. Melville's work remains a paragon of thematic complexity and poetic beauty.

The story of one man's obsession with what he cannot catch and hold is something anyone from any culture can relat... more
