Moby-Dick (A Reader's Library Classic Hardcover)

...for there is no folly of the beasts of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men. The 500+ page book of the American classic, this beautiful Reader's Library Classic Hardcover edition of Moby-Dick takes you on a legendary voyage aboard the Pequod, where Captain Ahab's obsession with the whale named "Moby Dick" drives the crew and his ship further and further into a spiral of madness. Considered a classic today, Moby-Dick was not as appreciated during the Herman Melville's lifetime, where it even went out of print for many decades. Not until Melville's 100 year anniversary of his birth year did a revival into his work bring Moby-Dick back into the forefront of classic American Literature.
