Moby-Dick by Herman Melville (Digital Edition)

Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is Herman Melville's epic tale of obsession, adventure, and the struggle between man and nature. First published in 1851, this American literary masterpiece follows the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod and its captain's monomaniacal quest to hunt the white whale, Moby Dick.

Narrated by Ishmael, a sailor aboard the Pequod, the novel weaves together adventure, philosophy, and detailed observations of whaling life in the 19th century. At its heart is Captain Ahab's all-consuming desire for revenge against the whale that took his leg.
