  • """Call me Ishmael, "" Moby Dick begins, in one of the most recognizable opening lines in Western literature. The name has come to symbolize orphans, exiles, and social outcasts-- in the opening paragraph of Moby Dick, Ishmael tells the reader that he has turned to the sea out of a feeling of alienation from human society. Ishmael soon learns that Ahab has one purpose on this voyage: to seek out a specific whale-- Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white sperm whale. In a previous encounter, the whale destroyed Ahab's boat and bit off his leg, which now drives Ahab to take revenge."@en

  • "Herausgegeben von Thomas Mann und H. G. Scheffauer 3. Überarbeitete Fassung - Korrektur der bekannten Gratis-Version Hierbei handelt es sich um die überarbeitete Fassung der deutschen (gegenüber dem englischen Original) gekürzten Erstausgabe von 1927/28, wie sie von Thomas Mann herausgegeben wurde. Die Original-Übersetzung stamm von Wilhelm Strüver "Moby Dick" ist das bedeutendste Prosawerk des amerikanischen Symbolismus. Eine bis ins kleinste Detail recherchierte Abenteuergeschichte und philosophische Reflexion über das Leben, die Rache und einen wahnsinnigen, alles vernichtenden Hass. "Nenne mich Ismael" - einer der berühmtesten Anfänge der Literaturgeschichte. Der Kampf des verstümmelten Kapitän Ahab gegen Moby Dick, den weissen Wal, der schliesslich alle ins Verderben reisst. Zu Lebzeiten von Melville stiess "Moby Dick" noch auf ein geteiltes Echo, noch schien die Welt nicht reif für diese komplexe Erzählstruktur. Heute gehört das Buch unbestreitbar zu den grössten Romanen der Literaturgeschichte. Ein Buch, das man gelesen haben muss. "Oh, hätte ich das geschrieben." - Thomas Mann 3. Auflage Umfang: 291 Normseiten bzw. 283 Buchseiten."
