Moby-Dick

Melville’s most ambitious and sumptuously written novel, Moby-Dick remains one of the greatest seafaring adventure stories of all time. With the famous opening line “Call me Ishmael,” a young sailor begins his tale of Captain Ahab’s obsessional search for the great white whale which long ago took his leg. Melville’s work remains a paragon of thematic complexity and poetic beauty. 4 cassettes.
