Description
Moby-Dick or, The Whale is a profound and haunting inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception, written with wonderfully redemptive humor. This masterpiece of American literature is a story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself.
Populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature, Moby-Dick is more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend. It is a social commentary that has captivated readers for generations with its mesmerizing and important themes.
This beautifully bound edition, part of Penguin's Clothbound Classics series, features the definitive text of Moby-Dick based on the Northwestern-Newberry edition, accompanied by an introduction by Andrew Delbanco and explanatory commentary by Tom Quirk. A must-have for anyone interested in American literature and the sea, Moby-Dick is a timeless and thought-provoking read.
