Moby-Dick

(The Whale)

Herman Melville

In Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, a narrator who presents himself as “Ishmael” encounters a colorful cast of characters during a sea voyage on a doomed whaling ship captained by a whaler who has vowed revenge, no matter the cost, on the white whale that robbed him of his leg.

Starting with one of the most famous opening lines in literary history, the book proceeds through a daunting number of chapters into which author Melville has thrown everything from his cetacean research notes to his favorite bible passages, sea shanty lyrics, and every English teacher’s most beloved psychological profile of self-destructive obsession.
