Part of Penguin's beautiful hardcover Clothbound Classics series  designed by the award-winning
Coralie Bickford-Smith  these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality 
tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.  In part  Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily
compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and
unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure  more than an
encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend  Moby-Dick is a haunting  mesmerizing  and important
social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in
literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor  Moby-Dick is a profound and timeless
inquiry into character  faith  and the nature of perception.  This edition contains the
definitive text of Moby-Dick based on the Northwestern-Newberry edition. It also features an
introduction by Andrew Delbanco and explanatory commentary by Tom Quirk.  For more than seventy
