About the Story

Ishmael signs on to the Pequod, a whaling ship commanded by the driven Captain Ahab. Ahab has one consuming purpose: to hunt the white whale Moby-Dick, even if the pursuit destroys everyone around him.

Herman Melville blends adventure, philosophy, humor, and natural history in an American epic. The novel asks enduring questions about obsession, fate, nature, and the limits of human control.
