Cuốn tiểu thuyết Moby Dick của Herman Melville ghi lại cơn khát báo thù vô độ của thuyền trưởng Ahab đối với con cá voi đã cắt cụt chân của ông. Ngoài việc xem xét làm thế nào một chàng trai có thể trở thành một người cuồng nhiệt, cuốn sách còn ca ngợi các nguyên tắc của nền dân chủ. Bất chấp sự cam kết của phi hành đoàn đối với mục tiêu đầy rủi ro của A-háp, câu chuyện vẫn nhấn mạnh giá trị của tinh thần đồng đội và trách nhiệm giải trình trong một cộng đồng. Người kể chuyện của cuốn sách là Ishmael, một thủy thủ dày dạn kinh nghiệm và là một độc giả sâu sắc.
Người đọc tìm hiểu về truyền thống săn bắt cá voi và viết lách thông qua cách kể chuyện lan man, mang tính tham khảo và đôi khi bẩn thỉu của ông.

Un chef-d’œuvre de la littérature dans une édition enrichie de 100 illustrations exceptionnelles !

Voici une occasion unique et somptueuse de faire le tour du globe à la poursuite de la célèbre baleine blanche ! Qui ne connaît l’affrontement obsessionnel, digne des grandes tragédies antiques, entre le capitaine Achab et la terrible Moby Dick ?

La traduction, parue dans la Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, est de Philippe Jaworski. Une édition de luxe qui fera date, pour les nombreux amoureux de ce chef- d’œuvre du patrimoine littéraire mondial.

"It will be a strange sort of a book, tho', I fear; blubber is blubber you know; tho' you may get oil out of it, the poetry runs as hard as sap from a frozen maple tree;--& to cook the thing up, one must needs throw in a little fancy.... Yet I mean to give the truth of the thing, spite of this."

Moby-Dick has a monumental reputation. Less well known are the novel's unexpectedly weird, funny, tantalizing, messy, and wondrous moments. Narrator Ishmael, along with the whaleship Pequod's other "meanest mariners, and renegades and castaways", is beguiled into joining Captain Ahab in his vengeful pursuit of the white whale that "dismasted" him. But along the way, Ishmael takes the reader along many a detour into variegated ways of knowing. In a tone "strangely compounded of fun and fury", Moby-Dick brings outlandish curiosity to bear on the multitudinous, oceanic scale of our diverse world.
