Moby-Dick or The Whale Moby-Dick has cast an indomitable shadow on every great piece of fiction ever written. The Mad Captain Ahab has captured the hearts of readers around the globe with his story of vengeance, which challenges the conventionally-assumed heights of obsession. Author Herman Melville was far ahead of his time and this is betrayed by his unique storytelling technique. Moby-Dick is considered as one of the greatest classics ever because it works on several levels effortlessly. Apart from being one of the most engaging sea stories ever told, the book offers the reader an almost encyclopedic knowledge of whales, their natural habitat, whaling and other aspects of life at sea. |
