Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is an epic sea adventure told by Ishmael, the sole survivor of the Pequod, a whaling ship driven to ruin by its captain’s monomaniacal obsession to hunt and destroy a white sperm whale, Moby Dick. Captain Ahab is driven to seek revenge on the ferocious whale, who destroyed Ahab’s ship and severed his leg at the knee on a previous voyage. The opening line, “Call me Ishmael” is among the most famous in all literature. The following narrative was radical at the time for its use of a variety of styles and techniques, some quite unconventional, and covers topics ranging from the techniques of whaling to life aboard ship to explorations of class and status, good and evil, and the nature of God.
Moby-Dick was a commercial failure and out of print by the 1890’s but was rediscovered in the 1920’s. It is now regarded as a seminal work on the American themes of religion, fate, and economic growth and opportunity as well as a radical experiment that prefigured Modernism with its enormous scope and kaleidoscope of forms.
