Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale by Herman Melville
2.0
Moby Dick is a very strange novel. Captain Ahab, who has lost a leg in a whale attack, is obsessed with having his revenge on this whale, Moby Dick. He sets out to hunt down the whale and does battle with it after a long voyage. In the end, Moby Dick manages to kill the entire crew but one man, and sink the whaling ship. Melville leaves open whether the whale dies or not.
That is the entire plot. In between there are philosophical ramblings, play-like scenes, pseudo-science passages on ceutology and long chapters about the science of whaling.
An unusual, if not very enjoyable read.
