Moby Dick


eBook Summary:
Moby-Dick is one of the great epics in all of literature, written by one of America's greatest authors. Herman Melville recounts the quest of Captain Ahab, who, having lost a leg in a earlier battle with White Whale, is determined to catch the beast and destroy it.

The relentless voyage of Ahab and his crew, a finely etched group of weird and wonderful characters who seem both flesh-and-blood individuals and symbolic of the varying qualities of men, becomes a masterful drama of life at sea. The drama is made more fascinating by Melville's eloquent style-a combination of the journalistic, colloquial, and poetic-and the themes and subjects he pursues-whales and whaling; mean's need for love and comradeship; and the fury of Ahab for the whale.

Sometimes read as a terrifying study of monomania or as a critical inquiry into the effects of reducing life to symbols, Moby Dick also offers colorful and often comic glimpses of life aboard a whaling ship.
