MOBY DICK – THE CONFIDENCE MAN – THE PIAZZA TALES – BILLY BUDD

(Complete & Unabridged)

The young sailor Ishmael befriends a tattooed Polynesian harpooner named Queequeg, and finds himself aboard the Pequod, which is captained by the obsessive Captain Ahab. Not long after the voyage has begun, Ahab tells the crew about his secret plot to hunt down the whale that crippled him on a previous voyage, Moby Dick.

The crew of the Pequod are also after as much sperm oil as their ship can carry, and the account of the crew's years-long pursuit of the White Whale is interspersed with detailed and encyclopaedic descriptions of a whaler's life. Melville unites narrative virtuosity with a lifetime of sailing experience in perhaps the single most important classic of American literature.
One of America's greatest writers, Herman Melville often based his novels on the remarkable experiences of his own life. Unpopular in their time, they are now recognized as works of unique power and genius. Moby Dick is one of the world's greatest and most famous sea stories. ..
AUTHOR: HERMAN MELVILLE. Born in New York City in 1819, Herman Melville died in 1891, at which point his work had been largely forgotten. He has since been recognized as one of America's greatest writers. His metaphysical whaling novel, Moby Dick, is one of literature's most enduring works of art.
