Die Männer des Walfangschiffes kommen aus aller Herren Länder. Hier muss sich der junge Ismael bewähren und findet in einem der Harpuniere einen Freund. Kapitän Ahab ist besessen von der Jagd auf Moby Dick, den weißen Wal. Das dramatische und spannende Geschehen treibt seinem Höhepunkt entgegen, als Moby Dick gesichtet wird und der Kampf mit dem geisterhaften Wal beginnt.
Moby Dick or The Whale is a story of Captain Ahab's incessant pursuit of revenge against a whale that had taken his leg but also about a man's ability to let an obsession consume him, which can become an unhealthy fanatic.
Based on the events depicted in the "Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex" and the legend of "Mocha Dick,' it is the story of the wandering sailor Ishmael and his voyage aboard the whaling ship the Pequod. Commanded by the obsessed Captain Ahab, a man who is hell-bent on revenge against a white whale of incredible ferocity, the Pequod and its crew are tasked with this singular goal, whatever the emotional or human cost. It is a novel rich with symbolism and complex themes.
But this mythical adventure has never been portrayed in such a powerful way and with such striking illustrations, presenting a new perspective on this cornerstone of American literature. It marks a wonderful entry point for new readers to discover Melville's universe-and a beautiful edition for the countless dedicated readers of this unique novel.
When Ishmael joined the crew of a whaling ship called the Pequod, he was eager for a life of adventure on the high seas. But he didn't know that what he was about to embark on would be the adventure of a lifetime. With Captain Ahab at the helm, Ishmael and his crewmates quickly learned that they weren't simply hunting whales. They were on a quest for the biggest catch there ever was: the great white whale of legend, Moby Dick.
