Sinossi
Oltre un secolo e mezzo dopo la sua pubblicazione, Moby Dick è ancora un indiscusso classico della letteratura mondiale. È la storia inquietante e avvincente di un pazzo che persegue una guerra empia contro un'enorme e sacra creatura, pericolosa e inconoscibile, come il mare stesso. Ma più che un semplice romanzo di avventura, più che un'enciclopedia di tradizioni e leggende sulla pesca e sul mare, Moby Dick è un lucido commento sociale, affascinante e fondamentale, popolato dai maggiori e indimenticabili personaggi della letteratura. Moby Dick, ovvero l'epopea marittima di Melville, è una pietra angolare della narrativa, un capolavoro che vi farà vivere quella sensazione contrastante e complementare dell'essere uomo capace di compiere azioni temerarie e dell'essere al contempo in balia di forze indomabili e soverchianti... Un libro che tutti almeno una volta nella vita dovrebbero leggere. La traduzione proposta qui è quella di Cesare Pavese del 1950.

QUICK UPDATE: James Cameron totally ripped off and plagiarized Melville in the abysmally written Avatar 2. He should have listed Moby Dick in the credits… (view spoiler) [and saved the Ishmael character - the biologist - but, alas, he didn’t. (hide spoiler)] I re-read Moby-Dick following my research trips to the whaling museums of Leggi tutto
“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. So let’s raise our glasses to Option B, yeah? I fucking love this book. It took me eight hundred years to Leggi tutto
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
The narrator of this flabbergasting marine saga is an impecunious but very erudite young man possessing a sarcastic sense of humour and having a tongue-in-cheek attitude to life… Call me Ishmael. Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – having little or no money in my purse, and nothing parti Leggi tutto
Dude, let it go already! Massachusetts, 1830s. Ishmael is a young mariner spending time at a local inn, resting from his last sea voyage. When the lure of the seas calls again he signs up to join the crew of the Pequod, a whaler ship leaving dock soon. In charge of the expedition, the implacable A
Love it or hate it, whenever someone asks if Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick is worth reading I always enthusiastically say yes you should, yes it's worth it, yes, yes like some weirdass library Molly Bloom. An epic seafaring quest—one that is a prime example of how a major theme in literature is Don’t Leggi tutto
i tried. 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. This arrangement of the lower end is necessary on two accounts. First: In order to fac Leggi tutto
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
My uncle took me fishing when I was a child. He did all the fishing while I just hung around, observing. During one such trip, I had a fishing rod in my hand but didn't want to catch anything. The thought of catching a live fish was unbearable. I was a fearful and imaginative child, prone to melodra Leggi tutto
