HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential

'Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to
the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for
hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee...'
Few literary masterpieces cast quite as awesome a shadow as Herman
Melville's Moby Dick. Captain Ahab's quest for the white whale is a
timeless epic - a thrilling tale of vengeance and obsession, and a
searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity.
Inspired by true events, Moby Dick is a work of astonishing
psychological depth. It is perhaps the finest sea story ever told and
one of the great classics of literature.
