Moby Dick

Herman Melville

Moby Dick’ is an epic tale of the voyage of the whaling ship the ‘Pequod’ and its captain, Ahab, who relentlessly pursues the great white whale during a journey around the world. Ishmael, a sailor on the ‘Pequod’, arrives in New Bedford where he meets Queequeg, a harpooner from the South Pacific, who becomes his inseparable friend during the long whaling voyage. Captain Ahab, a strange man with a peg leg, has only one purpose in life: to find and kill Moby Dick, the great white whale that had chewed off his leg years ago.
