Ishmael finds himself on a sprawling, epic hunt for the great white whale in one of the most singular and celebrated novels in American literature. First published in 1851, Moby Dick is narrated by the young seaman Ishmael who takes ship on the whaler Pequod, under the command of Captain Ahab. Once at sea Ahab reveals that their voyage is not aimed at profitable whaling so much as pure vengeance as they are to hunt the white whale that maimed him, leaving him with a single leg. A rich array of memorable characters are introduced as the Pequod sails the sea, encountering other whalers, hunting whales and seeking Moby Dick. Sprawling and discursive, luxuriant and richly textured, Melvilles novel is almost a world unto itself. Life aboard ship, friendships between the diverse collection of sailors and the hazardous adventure of confronting whales on the open sea are captured unforgettably, but all of this is under the shadow of Ahabs all-consuming hatred of the white whale. As the ship draws nearer to confrontation with her captains nemesis, the novel moves toward a devastating climax. Initially greeted with little enthusiasm by American critics, a notable exception being Nathaniel Hawthorne, Moby Dick has since come to be seen as one of the greatest achievements of American fiction and a classic for the ages. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Moby Dick is both modern and readable.

Narrado pelo tripulante Ismael, este livro conta a história do capitão Ahab, um misterioso e vingativo marujo que tem uma missão pessoal para a qual está disposto a arrastar toda a população de seu navio: capturar Moby Dick. Tomado por esta ideia fixa, Ahab vai à caça da lendária baleia que devorou sua perna e que, embora cravejada de arpões, segue nadando em liberdade e intimidando até os marinheiros mais bravos. Tão grandioso e inacreditável quanto a missão de Ahab, este romance é um marco da literatura, com sua ousada mistura de estilos, como o teatro, o ensaio e a aventura. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1851, a obra-prima de Herman Melville tornou-se uma das mais importantes de seu país e do mundo, reverenciada e reverberando na cultura pop até os dias de hoje. A edição da Antofágica conta com tradução inédita de Rogerio Galindo e mais de 160 ilustrações da artista plástica Letícia Lopes. O livro traz ainda posfácios de Vinicius Duarte Figueira, especialista em Moby Dick com...

Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is an 1851 novel by American writer Herman Melville. The book is the sailor Ishmaels narrative of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale that on the ships previous voyage bit off Ahabs leg at the knee. A contribution to the literature of the American Renaissance, the works genre classifications range from late Romantic to early Symbolist. Moby-Dick was published to mixed reviews, was a commercial failure, and was out of print at the time of the authors death in 1891. Its reputation as a Great American Novel was established only in the 20th century, after the centennial of its authors birth. William Faulkner said he wished he had written the book himself, and D. H. Lawrence called it one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world and the greatest book of the sea ever written. Its opening sentence, Call me Ishmael, is among world literatures most famous.Melville began writing Moby-Dick in February 1850, and finished 18 months later, a year longer than he had anticipated. Writing was interrupted by his meeting Nathaniel Hawthorne in August 1850, and by the creation of the Mosses from an Old Manse essay as a result of that friendship. The book is dedicated to Hawthorne, in token of my admiration for his genius.The basis for the work is Melvilles four-year stint as a sailor on whaling vessels, which began in 1841. The novel also draws on whaling literature, and on literary inspirations such as Shakespeare and the Bible. The white whale is modeled on the notoriously hard-to-catch albino whale Mocha Dick, and the books ending is based on the sinking of the whaleship Essex in 1820. The detailed and realistic descriptions of whale hunting and of extracting whale oil, as well as life aboard ship among a culturally diverse crew, are mixed with exploration of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of God.
