Opis i karakteristike
With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd, Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury and coeditor of Poetry Review.
Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahabs quest to avenge the whale that reaped his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic.
But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahabs appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a cooperative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each.
Among the crew is Ishmael, the novels narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education:
in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing. Expanding to equal his mighty theme not only the whale but all things sublime Melville breathes in the worlds great literature. Moby Dick is the greatest novel ever written by an American.
