Penguin Poular Classics, complete and unabridged.


In his imagination Melville lived as well as wrote Moby Dick, his great epic of whales and whaling. It tells the story of Ahab, Captain of the Pequod, and of his revenge-mission and insane pursuit of Moby Dick, the fierce white whale. Among Ahab's crew is Ishmael, a young man undergoing a gruelling rite of passage and pursuing a different salvation.

As the Pequod circles the globe like a latter-day Noah's-Ark, so Moby Dick ranges and digresses through space and time, through mythologies, religions and philosophies. It is Melville's great 'romance of adventure' and one of the greatest novels of all time.

RELEASE NOTES:

Towards the back of the church, on the left as you go in, part of the table is dedicated to a free book exchange.

Picked up from the bookcrossing table after I dragged the children to find this elusive new OBCZ.

Thank you for mentioning the book exchange at Sutton Wharf as we had a fantastic day out, including a boat trip which the kids loved. I even got home in time to rescue my dry washing from the torrential rain!

Taken from catrionamoore's OBCZ BookBox, many thanks.
