Moby Dick

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.-Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell-s heart I stab at thee; for hate-s sake I spit my last breath at thee--Few literary masterpieces cast quite as awesome a shadow as Herman Melville-s Moby Dick. Captain Ahab-s quest for the white whale is a timeless epic - a thrilling tale of vengeance and obsession, and a searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity.Inspired by true events, Moby Dick is a work of astonishing psychological depth. It is perhaps the finest sea story ever told and one of the great classics of literature.
