One of the great works of American literature, Moby-Dick is the epic tale of one man’s fight against a force of nature.
The outcast youth Ishmael, succumbing to wanderlust during a dreary New England autumn, signs up for passage aboard a whaling ship. The Pequod sails under the command of the one-legged Captain Ahab, who has set himself on a maniacal quest to capture the cunning white whale that robbed him of his leg: Moby-Dick.
Capturing life on the sea with robust realism, Melville details the adventures of the colorful crew aboard the ship as Ahab pursues his crusade of revenge, heedless of all cost. This masterfully symbolic drama of the conflict between man and his fate has a special intensity that listeners will not soon forget.

Mer ett poetiskt epos än en roman. Ett konstverk med ganska många longörer men vackert utförd. Glad att jag ändå tog mig igenom den. Karaktärerna kommer jag inte att glömma.

Be warned: you're going to learn everything about whales and whaling - the beginning and the end are great, but in between is essentially Melville's essays on whales and whaling. Nonetheless, it has all the uncanniness, melodrama and flourish of any 19th century romantic text, and there's lot to enjoy there
