«Moby Dick» is the novel by Herman Melville, published by Bruguera in 1983 in paperback, in Spanish.
The young Ishmael boards the whaling ship Pequod and befriends the harpooner Queequeg. Captain Ahab, obsessed with a single prey, pursues Moby Dick, the white sperm whale that tore off his leg. The hunt becomes a tragic struggle of man against nature.
Herman Melville was an American writer of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia, and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was not well known to the public, but 1919, the centennial of his birth, was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick would eventually be considered one of the Great American Novels.
