Journey to the Sea With This Epic Whaling Adventure

Regarded as the Great American Novel, Moby Dick, this epic saga by Herman Melville is the ultimate tale of vengeance which still continues to captivate readers today with its vivid imagery, symbolism, complex themes, and timeless relevance to life and to the universe.

This is the sailor Ishmael's extraordinary narrative of the obsessive quest of Captain Ahab for revenge against Moby Dick, the giant white whale that bit off Ahab's leg on the ship's previous voyage. The novel is a study of how a man becomes a fanatic, but it is also an imaginative and thrilling picture of life at sea, with a close look at those aboard a whaling vessel, a co-operative community at work where all sailors are dependent upon each other.

We watch in this treasure of world literature as Captain Ahab descends deeper and deeper into madness on his quest to find and kill the ferocious, elusive white whale that maimed him. You will be mesmerized by this thrilling, haunting, tale combining maritime adventure, drama and the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature.
