Sinossi
Capolavoro di Melville, Moby Dick (1851) è insieme un appassionante romanzo d’avventura e una potente allegoria del conflitto primordiale tra l’uomo e le forze misteriose della natura, una tragica epopea piena di sangue e di morte e una profonda metafora dell’umano destino, della disperante ambiguità del vivere in cui l’uomo si dibatte senza possibilità di scelte definitive. Il mare, omerico e biblico al tempo stesso, è il regno dei mostri, del terrore, delle immense profondità che sfuggono alla comprensione umana. La balena bianca contro la quale lotta ostinatamente e inutilmente Achab è un’incarnazione del mitico Leviatano, un abbagliante simbolo dell’assurdità del mondo. L’eroico capitano è un Faust orgoglioso e dolente che vuole distruggere nell’odiato animale il male stesso. Il viaggio del Pequod a caccia del mostruoso cetaceo evoca un’umanità alla ricerca di senso in un’affannosa esplorazione che tuttavia conduce solo a riconoscere l’ineffabilità dell’essere.

“Where the White Whale, yo?” Ah, my first DBR. And possibly my last, as this could be a complete shit show. Approaching a review of Moby-Dick in a state of sobriety just wasn’t cutting it, though.

I re-read Moby-Dick following my research trips to the whaling museums of New Bedford and Nantucket whaling museums. The particular edition I read from University of California Press is HIGHLY recommended as the typeface is extremely agreeable to the eyes and the illustrations are subtle and instru
So, Herman Melville's Moby Dick is supposed by many to be the greatest Engligh-language novel ever written, especially among those written in the Romantic tradition. Meh. It's not that I don't get that there's a TON of complexity, subtlety, and depth to this book about a mad captain's quest for reven Leggi tutto

Both ends of the line are exposed; the lower end terminating in an eye-splice or loop coming up from the bottom against the side of the tub, and hanging over its edge completely disengaged from everything.

I hate this book so much. It is impossible to ignore the literary merit of this work though; it is, after all, a piece of innovative literature. Melville broke narrative expectations when he shed the narrator Ishmael and burst through with his infinite knowledge of all things whale. It was most cre

There once was a grouchy alpha whale named Moby Dick who -- rather than being agreeably shorn of his blubber and having lumpy sperm scooped out of his cranium like cottage cheese -- chose life. Unlike so many shiftless, layabout sea mammals of his generation, Moby Dick did not go gentle into that go Leggi tutto

“¿Y si Ahab abandona de súbito la búsqueda? Es probable que la pierna inexistente le duela para toda la vida." "Moby Dick" fue, es y será mi libro preferido de toda la vida.
