Moby-Dick - Paperback

Herman Melville's encyclopedic novel of obsession, whaling, metaphysics, and everything else. The most overstuffed, brilliant novel in American literature.

Moby-Dick is assigned in American literature courses not because it's easy, but because it's inexhaustible. The narrative, the digressions on whale anatomy, the philosophy, the Shakespearean drama, the meditation on whiteness: every page opens. It teaches you how to read. It changes how you think about ambition and failure.

This is the book students complain about at first, then love, then reread. It's generational. It's essential.
