A tale of obsession and revenge - 8 / 10
dolphinboy - 02-2009The Story: The title refers to the name given to an enormous albino sperm whale who is being hunted Depth of meaning, poetic prose at times, symbolism It's long, has many tangents, and is a slow read.
Moby Dick. What it is, and importantly, what it is not. - 6 / 10
snpmurray - 02-2006This is a book that I had wished to read for an eternity. It is referenced and talked about in so ma It is most certainly thorough in discussion of whaling. Length. Some mind bogglingly dull sections.

- Publisher's Note : Call me Ishmael. Some years ago--never mind how long precisely--having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.
- Description:
- This edition of Moby- Dick, released in honor of the book s 150th anniversary, is the authoritative text of one of the world s great adventure stories. A crew of whalers sets out in pursuit of a fierce white whale that had cost their captain his leg on a previous expedition. Their names ring through the canon of American literature: Ishmael, the narrator; Queenpeg, a South Seas harpooner; Starbuck, the sober and serious chief mate; and above all Captain Ahab, part Faust and part Job, leading his men to the ends of the earth- and the destiny he will share with his foe. Melville was heavily influenced and inspired by his experiences at sea; first as a young cabin boy on the whaler, Achushnet, and later in the US Navy sailing the Atlantic and South Seas. Typee and its sequel, Omoo, were accounts of his capture and subsequent captivity at the hands of a tribe of cannibals in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands. Both works were highly successful and thus the lukewarm reaction to Moby- Dick upon its release in 1851 was a blow to Melville, who had set out to write a mighty book on a mighty theme. It was not until the 1920 s that Moby- Dick began to finally receive the critical attention it richly deserved. Today, Moby- Dick is recognized as one of the premier epics in American literary history and indeed the ultimate tale of obsession and revenge. This text of Moby-Dick is an Approved Text of the Center for Scholarly Editions (Modern Language Association of America).
