Slavný román Bílá velryba patří bezesporu k vrcholným dílům klasické světové literatury devatenáctého století. Příběh vyprávějící o velké bílé velrybě a fanatickém kapitánovi, schopném obětovat cokoliv a kohokoliv jen pro vlastní pomstu, se dočkal i řady filmových a televizních zpracování. Z těch nejzdařilejších například stejnojmenný anglický film z roku 1956 s démonickým Gregory Peckem v roli kapitána Achaba. Od prvního vydání knihy v roce 1851 už uplynulo dost času a nezkrácená verze se z dnešního pohledu může zdát trochu nudná - rozsáhlé kapitoly věnující se podrobnostem ze života velryb a velrybářů určitě nenadchnou každého. Ale přesto, už jen z důvodu „klasického vzdělání“, stojí tento prozaický epos za přečtení.
