With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd; Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury and co-editor of 'Poetry Review'. 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. Expanding to equal his 'mighty theme' - not only the whale but all things sublime - Melville breathes in the world's great literature. Moby Dick is the greatest novel ever written by an American.
