Moby-Dick, also known as The Whale, is a novel first published in 1851 by American author Herman Melville. Moby-Dick is widely considered to be a Great American Novel and a treasure of world literature. The story tells the adventures of the wandering sailor Ishmael, and his voyage on the whale ship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ishmael soon learns that Ahab seeks one specific whale: Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white sperm whale. In a previous encounter, the whale destroyed Ahab's boat and bit off his leg. Ahab intends to take revenge.
Moby-Dick has been classified as American Romanticism. It was first published by Richard Bentley in London on October 18, 1851. Although the book initially received mixed reviews, Moby-Dick is now considered part of the Western canon. (Wikipedia)

PONDEROUSLY DULL - ABYSMALLY LONG - TORTUROUS
MY GRIEVANCES: HERMAN MELVILLE was born in New York. He wrote this book in 1859. He never spoke all the “Thee’s and Thou’s.” That was unnecessary poetic flourish. It seems vastly more time is spent in “Instruction” than story and during that time he tries to instruct with poetic flourish. He wastes words. He writes 50 words instead of 5. One section of about 30 pages was nothing about the story. I am sure that if you took out all the instruction and the wasted words you could reduce it to 1/4 its original size. It was hard to get into the story for all the breaks of instruction or over wordiness. It baffles me how this ever came to be a Classic. That it could be studied in schools is only evidence of inhuman torture.
