  • "Moby-Dick is one of the great epics in all of literature. Captain Ahab's hunt for the white whale drives the narrative at a relentless pace, while Ishmael's meditations on whales and whaling, on the sublime indifference of nature, and on the grimy physical details of the extraction of oil provide a reflective counterpoint to the headlong idolatrous quest. Sometimes read as a terrifying study of monomania or as a critical inquiry into the effects of reducing life to symbols, Moby-Dick also offers colorful and often comic glimpses of life aboard a whaling ship. For the first time, the authoritative editions of works by American novelists, poets, scholars, and essayists collected in the hardcover volumes of The Library of America are being published singly in a series of handsome paperback books. A distinguished writer has contributed an introduction for each volume, which also includes a chronology of the author's life an essay on the text, and notes. From the Trade Paperback edition."
  • "A tale of life aboard a New England whaling ship whose captain is obsessed with the pursuit of a large white whale. A classic of the sea, telling of the pursuit of Moby Dick, the white whale who defied capture."
  • "A simple retelling of the story of Ismael, a young seaman who joins the crew of the fanatical Captain Ahab in pursuit of the white whale Moby Dick."
