Moby Dick was written by Herman Melville whose writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor. This novel is a travel experience of Ishmael along with Ahab, in the hunt of a savage whale called Moby dick, which has ripped apart Ahab’s one leg. With some sinister crewmembers in their midst and the hazardous conditions of the sea, the expedition becomes increasingly dangerous the closer it gets to its end. One of the greatest sea story ever told Moby Dick epically combines rip-roaring adventure, a meticulously realistic portrayal of the whaling trade and a profound philosophical disquisition on the nature of good and evil.
