“The greatest American novel.”

William Faulkner

Moby Dick is an epic work of the nineteenth century, not just in its length or geographical vastness, but also in the way the main characters, Ahab and Ishmael, are presented to the reader. Ahab is, in true classical tradition, a larger-than-life, almost mythical individual, beyond the reach of the reader’s experience. In contrast, Ishmael is a more ordinary character, one to whom the reader can relate. As such, he narrates the story and also interprets the thoughts and actions of the more grandiose and less accessible Ahab as they pursue the monstrous white whale, Moby Dick.
