More about the book
The narrative follows a whaling crew led by Captain Ahab, who is driven by an obsessive quest for revenge against a formidable white whale that cost him his leg. Key characters include Ishmael, the reflective narrator, and Starbuck, the serious chief mate. Influenced by Melville's own maritime experiences, the story explores themes of obsession and destiny. Initially met with indifference, it gained recognition in the 1920s and is now celebrated as a cornerstone of American literature, reflecting profound human struggles.
