Moby-Dick

The White Whale (Moby-Dick or The Whale in English) is the best-known novel by American author Herman Melville, written in 1851, which describes the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod. Against the backdrop of the voyage and the pursuit of the white sperm whale, nicknamed Moby Dick by the sailors, rendered in the manner of adventure literature, Herman Melville develops his reflections on life, its meaning and life's happiness, the pursuit of which becomes a metaphor in the novel. Moby_Dick_p510_book_illustrationMoby Dick is often considered the culmination of Romanticism in American literature.

The plot begins with the embarkation of a young man bearing the autobiographical traits of the author, who goes by the accepted name of Ishmael in the book, on the whaling ship Pequod, after a lifetime of disappointment, which he does not mention in detail, despite several warnings, which he receives (a sermon on Jonah in the sailor's chapel, a prophecy by an old sailor with the symbolic name of Elijah), together with his friend Queequeg, a harpooner of Polynesian origin, on the whaling ship Pequod. The ship is commanded by Captain Ahab (Ahab), who was once deprived of his leg by Moby Dick and is now obsessed with the idea of revenge.

After setting sail from Nantucket, Ahab increasingly succumbs to his obsession, forcing his crew to assist him in his endeavors - despite the economic disadvantages of chasing one particular whale, inclement weather, and violent storms. Eventually, a fight ensues between Moby Dick and the whalers, the Pequod is destroyed, and the entire crew of the ship, except Ishmael, perish.

The novel consists of a total of 135 chapters, some of which depict daily life aboard the Pequod, others depict events during the pursuit of Moby Dick, and still others depict the characters of individual crew members, the life customs of the cetaceans, and descriptions of them in contemporary and older literature (including the Bible) and depictions.
