Moby Dick SC Junior Classics for Young Readers Herman Melville

Description: Moby Dick (Junior Classics for Young Readers) Paperback by Herman Melville (Author) Hold on to your hats & harpoons, ye landlubbers, & set your sails for the greatest sea yarn since Jonah. A tale of daring, devils, & death, Moby Dick is one whale of a story! Come aboard the good ship Pequod, hoist the anchor, & ride the written waves of one of America's greatest. Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest to avenge the whale that 'reaped' his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic. But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab's appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each. Among the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing.
