Complete and unabridged, Moby Dick is Herman Melville's classic tale of nature versus man, now designed in a handsome faux-leather hardcover with foil-embossed designs.
Journey to the heart of the sea with this larger-than-life classic.
Regarded as the Great American Novel, Moby Dick is the ultimate tale of seeking vengeance.
Narrated by the crew member Ishmael, this epic whaling adventure follows the crew of the Pequod, as its captain, Ahab, descends deeper and deeper into madness on his quest to find and kill the white whale that maimed him. Beyond the surface—of ship life, whaling, and the hunt for the elusive Moby Dick—are allegorical references to life, and even the universe, in this masterpiece by Herman Melville.
