Today I
represent a famous book by Herman Melville “Moby
Dick”.
In his
imagination Melville lived as well as wrote
Moby Dick, his great epic of whales and whaling. It tells the story of
Ahab, Captain of the Pequod and of
his revenge-mission and insane pursuit of Moby Dick, the fierce white whale.
Among Ahab’s crew is Ishmael, a young man undergoing a grueling rite of passage
and pursuing a different salvation.
As the Pequod circles the globe like a
latter-day Noah’s Ark, so Moby Dick
ranges and digresses through space and time, through mythologies, religions and
philosophies. It is Melville’s great ‘romance of adventure’ and one of the
greatest novels of all time.
