Moby- Dick
3.53 (530,626 ratings by Goodreads)
Paperback Signet Classics English
By (author) Herman Melville , Afterword by Christopher Buckley , Introduction by Elizabeth Renker


Herman Melvilles thrilling nautical adventure-a timeless allegory and an epic saga of heroic determination and conflict.

At the heart of Moby-Dick is the powerful, unknowable sea-and Captain Ahab, a brooding, one-legged fanatic who has sworn vengeance on the mammoth white whale that crippled him. Narrated by Ishmael, a wayfarer who joins the crew of Ahabs whaling ship, this is the story of that hair-raising voyage, and of the men who embraced hardship and nameless horrors as they dared to challenge Gods most dreaded creation and death itself for a chance at immortality.

A novel that delves with astonishing vigor into the complex souls of men, Moby-Dick is an impassioned drama of the ultimate human struggle that the Atlantic Monthly called "the greatest of American novels."


With an Introduction by Elizabeth Renker
and an Afterword by Christopher Buckley
