MOBY-DICK : OR, THE WHALE
MOBY-DICK : OR, THE WHALE
The original Great American Novel, Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick is a masterful study of obsession. This Penguin Classics edition contains an introduction by Andrew Delblanco, with explanatory commentary by Tom Quirk. Call me Ishmael.So begins Herman Melvilles masterpiece, one of the greatest works of imagination in literary history. As Ishmael is drawn into Captain Ahabs obsessive quest to slay the white whale Moby-Dick, he finds himself engaged in a metaphysical struggle between good and evil. More than just a novel of adventure, more than an paean to whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting social commentary, populated by some of the most enduring characters in literature; the crew of the Pequod, from stern, Quaker First Mate Starbuck, to the tattooed Polynesian harpooner Queequeg, are a vision of the world in microcosm, the pinnacle of Melvilles lifelong meditation on America. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby-Dick is a profound, poetic inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception. Based on the Northwestern University Press edition, this Penguin Classics edition includes a critical introduction by Andrew Delbanco, as well as valuable explanatory notes, maps, illustrations and a glossary of nautical terms. Herman Melville is now regarded as one of Americas greatest novelists. Much of the material for his novels was drawn from his own experience as a seaman aboard whaling ships. He wrote his masterpiece Moby-Dick in 1851, and died in 1891. If you enjoyed Moby-Dick, you may like Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote, also available in Penguin Classics. After reading Moby-Dick, you will have enhanced your sense of wonder, you will have increased the size of your universeE. M. ForsterOne of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world ... It moves awe in the soulD. H. Lawrence
