Riassunto:
Moby-Dick is an 1851 novel by Herman Melville. The story
tells the adventures of the wandering sailor Ishmael and his
voyage on the whaling ship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab.
Ishmael soon learns that Ahab seeks one specific whale,
Moby-Dick, a white whale of tremendous size and ferocity.
Comparatively few whaling ships know of Moby-Dick, and fewer
yet have encountered him. In a previous encounter, the whale
destroyed Ahab's boat and bit off his leg. Ahab intends to
exact revenge.
