Viac o knihe

The narrative follows Ishmael, a sailor aboard the whaling ship Pequod, as he recounts Captain Ahab's relentless pursuit of Moby Dick, the formidable whale that maimed him. This 1851 novel, initially met with mixed reviews and commercial failure, has since become a cornerstone of American literature, recognized for its complex themes and rich symbolism. Celebrated by literary figures like William Faulkner and D.H. Lawrence, it explores obsession, revenge, and the human condition, anchored by its iconic opening line, "Call me Ishmael."
