Moby Dick; Or, The Whale

by Herman Melville

One captain, one whale, and a voyage that was never really about whaling.

Ishmael signs onto the whaling ship Pequod and discovers that its captain, Ahab, has turned the voyage into a personal hunt for the white whale that maimed him. Part sea adventure, part meditation on obsession and fate, the novel follows a crew carried along by one man's refusal to let go.
