Moby Dick Or The Whale

About The Book

Moby Dick by Herman Melville. Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahab''s quest to avenge the whale that ''reaped'' his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic. But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab s appalling crusade it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands each individual responsible for the security of each. Among the crew is Ishmael the novel''s narrator ordinary sailor and extraordinary reader. Digressive allusive vulgar transcendent the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling in the art of writing. With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd.
