Moby Dick (Vintage Classics Library) - książka w języku angielskim

Książka Moby Dick opowiada o wyprawie kapitana Ahaba, by pomścić wieloryba, który „oderwał” mu nogę. Poszukiwanie jest obsesją, a powieść jest studium tego, jak człowiek staje się fanatykiem. Gdy załoga jest zajęta przerażającą krucjatą Achaba, jest to również obraz współpracującej społeczności i każdy odpowiedzialny za bezpieczeństwo każdego. Wśród załogi jest Ismael, narrator powieści, zwykły żeglarz i niezwykły czytelnik.

Opis w języku angielskim

Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest to avenge the whale that 'reaped' his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic. But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab s appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each. Among the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing.
