Moby-Dick“From Hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee . . .” Few literary masterworks cast quite as awesome a shadow as Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Captain Ahab’s quest for the white whale is a timeless epic—a thrilling tale of vengeance and obsession, and a searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity. Far ahead of its own time, Moby-Dick is a work of astonishing psychological depth and diversity. It is perhaps the greatest sea story ever told and is considered one of the great works of North American literature. HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
