"It's Moby Dick, what more can one say-"

Review by Mathew on 2nd June, 2011

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Brilliant classic of the Western Canon, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. As relevant now as when it was first written, a must for any literature lover.

Description

This title includes an Introduction and Notes by David Herd, lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury. "Moby-Dick" is the story of Captain Ahab's quest to avenge the whale that 'reaped' his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic. But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab's appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each. Among the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing.
