Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of the whaling industry, the narrative follows Ishmael, a sailor on the "Pequod," under the command of the obsessive Captain Ahab. Ahab's singular pursuit of revenge against the formidable white whale, Moby Dick, drives the crew into perilous waters. The novel intertwines real-life shipwreck events with rich symbolism and complex themes, capturing the essence of Romanticism and the American Renaissance. Initially a commercial failure, it has since become a cornerstone of American literature, solidifying Herman Melville's legacy.
