Few literary masterpieces cast quite as awesome a shadow as Herman Melville?s Moby Dick. Captain Ahab?s quest for the white whale is a timeless epic ? a thrilling tale of vengeance and obsession, and a searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity. Inspired by true events, Moby Dick is a work of astonishing psychological depth.
It is perhaps the greatest sea story ever told and one of the great classics of literature. ?Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell?s heart I stab at thee; for hate?s sake I spit my last breath at thee??
