Moby-Dick
Moby-Dick
Ishmael ships on the Pequod under a captain hunting one white whale. The book stops for whales, work, and metaphysics, then returns to the chase.
Author
Herman Melville
Melville’s Moby-Dick begins as a whaling voyage and becomes a meditation on obsession, work, and what cannot be charted. The narrative voice never sits still for long.
