Sneak Peak
‘Overhearing Starbuck, the panic-stricken crew instantly ran to the braces—though not a sail was left aloft. For the moment all the aghast mate’s thoughts seemed theirs; they raised a half mutinous cry. But dashing the rattling lightning links to the deck, and snatching the burning harpoon, Ahab waved it like a torch among them; swearing to transfix with it the first sailor that but cast loose a rope’s end. Petrified by his aspect, and still more shrinking from the fiery dart that he held, the men fell back in dismay…’
Synopsis
In part, Moby Dick tells the tale of a terrifyingly alluring maniac who waged an abominable battle against a being that was as colossal, perilous, and incomprehensible as the ocean itself. The book can be considered as a part of the author’s lifelong reflection on America and can be seen as more than just an adventure tale or an encyclopaedia of whaling lore and tradition. Moby Dick is a serious examination of character, faith, and the nature of perception that is also written with a lovely sense of redemptive comedy.
