El libro narra la titánica peripecia del capitán Ahab a bordo del buque Pequod, en su persecución de una gigantesca ballena blanca llamada Mocha Dick en las viejas leyendas balleneras y, en la novela del autor neoyorquino, Moby Dick. Se trata de un relato épico, donde la tierra, los bosques, las ciudades o las praderas dejan paso a la inmensidad del Océano. / First published in 1851, Melville's masterpiece is, in Elizabeth Hardwick's words, ""the greatest novel in American literature."" The saga of Captain Ahab and his monomaniacal pursuit of the white whale remains a peerless adventure story but one full of mythic grandeur, poetic majesty, and symbolic power. Filtered through the consciousness of the novel's narrator, Ishmael, Moby-Dick draws us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.
