Moby Dick

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