The narrative follows Ishmael, a sailor on a whaling ship led by Captain Ahab, whose obsessive pursuit of revenge against a giant sperm whale drives the plot.

Melville's exploration of obsession, revenge, and humanity's relationship with nature resonates deeply, making it essential reading for literature enthusiasts. This edition includes a new biography of the author, enhancing the reader's understanding of Melville's life and work.
