Description
The classic tale, Moby Dick, was originally published by Herman Melville in London in 1851 as The Whale and a month later in New York City as Moby Dick. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest American novels of all time. Moby Dick depicts a story about one man's obsession with hunting and killing the infamous white whale who, in a previous encounter, was responsible for the loss of his leg. The final voyage of the whaling vessel The Pequod will fill you with wonder, as you experience the trials, beauty, and madness of their expedition for revenge, no matter the cost. Exerpt: "Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure..... Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle , and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself?" This beautiful reprint of the original Moby Dick is unabridged and unaltered. Enjoy this vintage classic today!
