Herman Melville's Moby Dick [Unabridged Edition]

MOBY DICK is the story of Ishmael, a sailor on the whaling ship Pequod, commanded by the mysterious Captain Ahab. Ahab's obsession in life is hunting down and killing the white whale, Moby Dick, which Ahab pursues to the detriment of himself, his crew, and his ship. Ahab's single-mindedness reveals a profound meditation on society, nature, and the human struggle for meaning, happiness, and salvation. Often considered the epitome of American Romanticism, the novel is now considered one of the greatest novels in the English language.
