On board the whaling ship Pequod a crew of wise men and fools, renegades and seeming phantoms is hurled through treacherous seas by crazed Captain Ahab, a man hell-bent on hunting down the mythic White Whale.
Herman Melville transforms the little world of the whale ship into a crucible where mankinds fears, faith and frailties are pitted against a relentless fate.
Teeming with ideas and imagery, and with its extraordinary intensity sustained by mischievous irony and moments of exquisite beauty, Moby-Dick is both a great American epic and a profoundly imaginative literary creation.
This beautiful Macmillan Collectors Library edition of Moby-Dick features an afterword by Nigel Cliff.
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collectors Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles.
