Moby-Dick, Herman Melville's masterpiece, describes Captain Ahab's
fanatical pursuit of the cunning and seemingly malign white whale Moby
Dick and the ensuing battle to the death. This remarkable tale of high
adventure is laced with whaling lore and philosophical, Biblical and
Shakespearean resonances. Indeed, Faulkner confessed he wished he had
written it himself, while, D. H. Lawrence called it "one of the
strangest and most wonderful books in the world."
