"Moby-Dick" is a novel written by Herman Melville. It tells the story of
Captain Ahab's obsessive quest for revenge against the giant white sperm
whale, Moby Dick, who had bitten off his leg. The book was initially published
to mixed reviews and was a commercial failure. However, it gained recognition
as a Great American Novel in the 20th century. The novel is known for its
lyrical writing style and its exploration of themes such as the nature of evil
and the human desire for understanding. It draws inspiration from real-life
events, such as the sinking of the whaleship Essex. The book incorporates
various genres, including adventure, philosophy, and whaling lore. Melville's
work was influenced by other writers, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson. Despite its
initial reception, "Moby-Dick" has since been celebrated for its originality
and literary value.
