Moby Dick

This classic story of high adventure, manic obsession, and metaphysical speculation was Melville´s masterpiece. The tale of Captain Ahab´s frantic pursuit of the cunning and notorious white whale Moby Dick, is packed with drama, and draws heavily on the author´s own experiences on the high seas. This edition includes passages from Melville´s correspondence with Nathaniel Hawthorne, in which the two discussed the philosophical depths of the novel´s plot and imagery.
