Moby Dick Or The Whale (Paperback)

Moby-Dick is a great American novel about adventure in whaling around the world. The story centres around Ahab, the blasphemous captain of the Pequod, who relentlessly pursues a Leviathan White Whale—a mysterious creature embodying indestructible power. His mad pursuit, motivated by a strong revenge desire, results in his death in the deep sea. All but Ismael die with him. In the guise of sea-adventure, Melville's concepts of God, religions, revenge and redemption are powerfully implied in a fictional framework. The novel presents an epic-scale quest for exploring the true nature of the mysterious Creator and the enigmatic relationship between Him and His creation. The recurrent focus of the story is on man’s helplessness in this inscrutably mysterious universe.
