WORDSWORTH CLASSICS MOBY-DICK ENGLISH EDITION...

Moby-Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest to avenge the whale that 'reaped' his leg. The
quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic. But
it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab's appalling crusade  it is equally
the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands  each
individual responsible for the security of each. Among the crew is Ishmael  the novel's
narrator  ordinary sailor  and extraordinary reader. Digressive  allusive  vulgar  transcendent
the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling  in the art of
writing.
