Herman Melville's peerless allegorical materpiece is the epic saga of the fanatical Captain Ahab, who swears vengence on the mammoth white whale that has crippled him. Often considered to be the Great American Novel, Moby-Dick is at once a sparkly realistic story of whaling, a romance of unusul adventure, and searing drama of heroic courage, moral conflict, and mad obsession. It is the world-renowned as the greatest sea story ever told.
