Moby Dick

Ishmael sets sail aboard the Pequod, drawn into Captain Ahab's obsessive hunt for Moby Dick, the legendary white whale that has become the fixed point of Ahab's existence. What begins as a whaling voyage across the vast expanse of the sea turns into something closer to a reckoning, as vengeance, fate and the pull of the natural world close in around the crew. A cornerstone of American literature, this is a profound exploration of man's struggle against himself, carried along by adventure and the darker currents beneath it.
