Description
Young Ishmael and the harpooner Y Queequeg work aboard the whaling ship Pequod. But the Pequod is ruled by the mysterious Ahab, a man driven to hunt the cursed white whale called Moby Dick. Careless of his own life and those of his men, Ahab's suicidal quest builds to its inevitable climax: he will destroy the white whale, or be destroyed by it. Herman Melville's great novel is one of the cornerstones of American literature.
