About the book

Herman Melville's Moby-Dick follows the sailor Ishmael aboard the whaling ship Pequod under the command of Captain Ahab. Ahab is obsessed with hunting the enormous white whale that previously destroyed his leg, gradually turning the voyage into a dangerous personal crusade. The novel combines maritime adventure with reflections on obsession, fate, nature, religion and the limits of human understanding. Narrated by the sailor Ishmael, the novel ranges far beyond a simple adventure story, exploring whaling, religion, fate, nature and obsession.
