Description

Herman Melville's masterpiece of obsession and the untamed sea is a work of imagination that has stood the test of time. This edition features the Northwestern-Newberry edition of Melville's text, approved by the Center for Scholarly Editions and the Center for Editions of American Authors of the MLA. At its heart, Moby-Dick is a story of a man's all-consuming pursuit of a creature as vast and mysterious as the sea itself. With wonderfully redemptive humor, Melville explores themes of character, faith, and perception, populated with unforgettable characters that continue to appeal to readers. Penguin Classics is renowned for its authoritative texts, enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors. This edition is a testament to the series' commitment to providing readers with the best works of literature, presented in a way that is both accessible and informative.
