Herman Melville\'s thrilling nautical adventure--a timeless allegory and an epic saga of heroic determination and conflict.
With an Introduction by Elizabeth Renker and an Afterword by Christopher Buckley.
A novel that delves with astonishing vigor into the complex souls of men, Moby-Dick is an impassioned drama of the ultimate human struggle that the Atlantic Monthly called the greatest of American novels.
Narrated by Ishmael, a wayfarer who joins the crew of Ahab\'s whaling ship, this is the story of that hair-raising voyage, and of the men who embraced hardship and nameless horrors as they dared to challenge God\'s most dreaded creation and death itself for a chance at immortality.
At the heart of Moby-Dick is the powerful, unknowable sea--and Captain Ahab, a brooding, one-legged fanatic who has sworn vengeance on the mammoth white whale that crippled him.
