Product Description
A masterpiece of storytelling and symbolic realism, this thrilling adventure and epic saga pits Ahab, a brooding sea captain, against the great white whale that crippled him. More than just the tale of a hair-raising voyage, Melville's riveting story passionately probes man's soul. A literary classic first published in 1851, Moby-Dick represents the ultimate human struggle.

 Not an easy read but worth the trouble... March 17, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Yes, it's not an easy book to read - it's long and some of the chapters are tedious. There are whole passages that I read and reread and do not understand what the author was talking about! However, I urge anyone who loves history and literature to persevere. The book is a wonderful adventure story with so much detail that you feel like you're right there aboard the Pequod on this doomed voyage. The characters are memorable and the environmental theme resonates today. Don't be put off by its length - take the plunge!

this book has been one of my most loved books since I was a small child. it's just great and though most people wouldn't think to read the book to a child. My father read it to me and so i have read it to mine and we have all enjoyed this amazing book at bedtime.
A Classic; Tough to read, though! December 17, 2007

True, it is an American classic. It gets five stars for that alone. However, it was written in the 2nd quarter of the 19th century, so it is tough to read now in the 21st century.
