Información sobre este eBook

A literary classic that wasn't recognized for its merits until decades after its publication, Herman Melville's Moby-Dick tells the tale of a whaling ship and its crew, who are carried progressively further out to sea by the fiery Captain Ahab. Obsessed with killing the massive whale, which had previously bitten off Ahab's leg, the seasoned seafarer steers his ship to confront the creature, while the rest of the shipmates, including the young narrator, Ishmael, and the harpoon expert, Queequeg, must contend with their increasingly dire journey. The book invariably lands on any short list of the greatest American novels.

Acerca del autor

Herman Melville is a major figure in American literature, largely due to his revered nautical novel Moby-Dick. As a young New Yorker, Melville developed wanderlust and headed for the high seas. Writing about his adventures in the South Pacific led to his debut, Typee, but after this popular book, Melville's success declined. Later works, particularly Moby-Dick, weren't wholeheartedly embraced until well after Melville's death, with resounding acknowledgement not arriving until the early 20th century.
