Herman Melville, an American author, wrote "Moby-Dick," a novel first published in 1851.

The novel is a complicated and varied investigation of subjects like obsession, revenge, the nature of bad and human interaction with nature.


Ishmael is a man who joins the whaling vessel Pequod, commanded by the vengeful and mysterious Captain a Hab, and recounts the story. Ahab is determined to catch and eliminate the white sperm whale Moby Dick, who bit off his leg during an earlier expedition. The story follows the crew of the PequoD as they try making this risky and symbolic journey - and come across several adventures as well as challenges in the process.
