Moby-Dick
About the book
Call me Ishmael. A young sailor signs onto the whaling ship Pequod, only to find its captain, Ahab, consumed by a monomaniacal hunt for the white whale that took his leg. Part sea adventure, part encyclopedia of whaling, part meditation on obsession and the void — the great American novel.
