Moby-Dick

"Call me Ishmael." With these three words begins the greatest, most enduring tale of adventure and obsession in American literature.



Set sail aboard the Pequod, a New Bedford whaling ship, and join the narrator, Ishmael, on a voyage that quickly descends into a furious, relentless pursuit. Under the command of the monomaniacal Captain Ahab, the crew is driven across the world's oceans in search of one thing: Moby-Dick, the legendary white whale that took Ahab's leg. Herman Melville's masterpiece is more than a thrilling sea adventure and an encyclopedic look at 19th-century whaling; it is a profound exploration of madness, revenge, morality, and the dark, allegorical struggle between man and the untameable forces of nature.



A literary monument and one of the Great American Novels, Moby-Dick is a deep, immersive experience that reveals new insights with every reading. This is the ultimate confrontation with the limits of human will.
