Moby Dick is a masterpiece of american literature: first published by Herman Melville in 1851, at the beginning it was warmly welcomed by the readers. The succes came after the death of the author and led this book in the Olympus of the greatest novels of all time.
Through the eyes of Ishmael, anonymous sailor aboard the whaling ship Pequod, we witness the furious hunt of the savage white whale by the Captain Ahab. The Whale is an almighty monster symbolizing Nature and its power, but it is furthermore the symbol of Evil itself. What Melville stages in this book is the endless struggle of Humanity against Evil. Themes, style and structure make of this great book one of the most brilliant examples of modernist literature.
