Moby Dick or The Whale is an 1851 novel by American writer Herman Melville. The book is sailor Ishmael's narrative of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale that on the ship's previous voyage bit off Ahab's leg at the knee. A contribution to the literature of the American Renaissance, the work's genre classifications range from late Romantic to early Symbolist. Moby-Dick was published to mixed reviews, was a commercial failure, and was out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891. Its reputation as a "Great American Novel" was established only in the 20th century, after the centennial of its author's birth. William Faulkner said he wished he had written the book himself, and D. H. Lawrence called it one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world and the greatest book of the sea ever written. Its opening sentence, Call me Ishmael, is among world literature's most famous.

When Herman Melville finished Moby Dick, he wrote a letter to his friend Nathaniel Hawthorne and said: "I have written a wicked book and feel spotless as the lamb." Unfortunately, although many have purchased, very few people have actually finished this "wicked" book. One early critic said: "Melville's book can sink a ship with greater force than any whale that I know of." Moby Dick, as originally written, is just plain heavy, difficult to read from cover to cover. It's so thick, often digressive, too esoteric, with pages and pages of technical details about the whaling industry, the anatomy of a whale and pursuits that are just not captivating enough to a low attention, modern audience. Many High-school students and college literature majors are assigned Moby Dick, only to get through the first couple of chapters and substitute the cliff notes instead. Melville received a rather indifferent, empty reception to the release of Moby Dick. Melville died a poor man, not able to anticipate the impact that this book would have into the 20th and 21st centuries. More people need to read Moby Dick. In it we learn of the mysteries of Melville and more of human nature and our relationship to God, ourselves and others. Melville has been called a "rational man who wants God to exist, to be our rescuer, to act as a confidant in our moments of crisis and to give us reassurance that, over the horizon of our deaths, we will survive." By reading his book, we can learn to stretch our arms to include others; different than ourselves. The close relationship between Ishmael (the narrator) and Queequeg (a cannibal) proves this with Melville's infamous line "how elastic our stiff prejudices grow when love once comes to bend them". Though over 50 million copies of Moby Dick have now been sold, how many of those have been read? Do they sit next to the bible, lonely on the bookshelf? An early literary sailor in the 1850's said of the book: "About the whaling voyage, I am half way in the work, a strange sort of book, blubber is blubber you know." Many of us needed a new, modern reading of Moby Dick. One that will be as interesting and captivating to the High School student addicted to their phone and Tik Tok, as it will be to the retired baby boomer looking to connect with the curious, yet cynical Ishamel or the obsessive Captain Ahab. By trimming the blubber we hope to invite a more readable journey of self discovery and introspection; the 101 pages have been carefully and concisely refined, annotated and improved for a fine adventure and enjoyable read.

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. With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd. Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury

★★★Moby Dick or The Whale, The True Story★★★ Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a novel by Herman Melville, considered an outstanding work of Romanticism and the American Renaissance, in which Ishmael narrates the monomaniacal quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge on the albino sperm whale Moby Dick, which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg at the knee. Although the novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891, its reputation grew immensely during the twentieth century. On board the whaling ship Pequod a crew of wise men and fools, renegades and seeming phantoms is hurled through treacherous seas by crazed Captain Ahab, a man hell-bent on hunting down the mythic White Whale. Herman Melville transforms the little world of the whale ship into a crucible where mankind's fears, faith and frailties are pitted against a relentless fate.★★★ How This Book is Different ◆ The True Story, Almost in Original illustrated version ◆Matching Matte Finished cover ◆Well Formatted Version

Our intrepid narrator, a former schoolteacher famously "called" Ishmael--is that actually his name?-- signs up as sailor on a whaling voyage to cure a bout of depression/being a misanthropic dirtbag. On his way to find a ship in Nantucket, he meets Queequeg, a heavily tattooed South Sea Island harpooneer just returned from his latest whaling trip. Ishmael and Queequeg become best buds and roommates almost immediately. Together, they sign up for a voyage on the Pequod, which is just about to start on a three-year expedition to hunt sperm whales.On board the Pequod, Ishmael meets the mates--honest Starbuck, jolly Stubb, and fierce Flask--and the other harpooneers, Tashtego and Daggoo. The ship's commander, Captain Ahab, remains secluded in his cabin and never shows himself to the crew. Uh, that's ominous. Oh well. The mates organize the beginning of the voyage as though there were no captain.Just when Ishmael's curiosity about Ahab has reached a fever pitch, Ahab starts appearing on deck--and we find out that he's missing one leg. When Starbuck asks if it was Moby Dick, the famous White Whale, that took off his leg, Ahab admits that it was and forces the entire crew to swear that they will help him hunt Moby Dick to the ends of the earth and take revenge for his injury. They all swear.After this strange incident, things settle into a routine on board the good ship Pequod. While they're always on the lookout for Moby Dick, the crew has a job to do: hunting sperm whales, butchering them, and harvesting the sperm oil that they store in huge barrels in the hold.Ishmael takes advantage of this lull in plot advancement to give the reader lots (lots) of contemporary background information about whale biology, the whaling industry, and sea voyages. The Pequod encounters other ships, which tell them the latest news about the White Whale. Oh yeah, and everyone discovers that Ahab has secretly smuggled an extra boat crew on board (led by a mysterious, demonic harpooneer named Fedallah) to help Ahab do battle with Moby Dick once they do find him.

"It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it."So Melville wrote of his masterpiece, one of the greatest works of imagination in literary history. In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopaedia of whaling lore and legend, the book can be seen as part of its author's lifelong meditation on America. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby-Dick is also a profound inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.Font used in this annotated edition is Baskerville - 11.

Most modern readers don't know that Melville's work addresses the timeless themes of God, sea monsters, and ambergris. That's because his books are about whalers doing things a really long time ago that nobody could relate to -- until now.L. Q. Puffbuster has adaptated this classic to help modern readers relate to the original source material. Specifically, modern readers named Todd. The main character has been renamed "Todd" so the trials of this mid-19th century whaler will have special poignancy for readers also named Todd (or reader that know somebody named Todd).Critics agree: this book is better now.Second edition includes a forward by the Baron Rupert von Dougalsnatch
