Moby Dick
The Original 1851 Unabridged and Complete Edition
Ignoring prophecies of doom, the seafarer Ishmael joins the crew of a whaling expedition that is an obsession for the ship's captain, Ahab. Once maimed by the White Whale, Moby Dick, Ahab has set out on a voyage of revenge. With godlike ferocity, he surges into dangerous waters-immune to the madness of his vision, refusing to be bested by the forces of nature.
An exhilarating whaling yarn, an apocalyptic theodicy, a tragic confessional, and a profound allegory, Moby Dick encompasses all that it means to be human-from the physical and metaphysical to the spiritual and emotional. Full of strange wisdom and wild digressive energy, it's a singular literary performance universally regarded as one of the great American novels.

Herman Melville
Herman Melville (1819–1891) est un écrivain américain, célèbre pour ses romans inspirés de ses années passées comme marin et baleinier. *Moby Dick*, publié en 1851, est aujourd’hui considéré comme l’un des plus grands romans de la littérature mondiale, bien qu’il ait d’abord été mal accueilli par la critique. Son œuvre, marquée par une profondeur métaphysique et un style riche, explore les thèmes de l’aventure, de la condition humaine et de la lutte contre les forces du destin. Melville a aussi écrit *Typee*, *Omoo* et *Bartleby le scribe*, mais *Moby Dick* reste son chef-d’œuvre absolu.
