Moby Dick

Herman Melville

Moby Dick je roman američkog pisca Hermana Melvillea iz 1851. godine. Knjiga je pripovijest mornara Ishmaela o manijakalnoj potrazi Ahaba, kapetana broda Pequod, za osvetom Moby Dicku, golemom bijelom kitu koji mu je na prošlom putovanju odgrizao nogu.

Moby Dick iznimno je i izvanredno djelo svjetske književnosti, u američkoj kulturi zauzima približno ono mjesto što ga u drugim, starijim literaturama imaju veliki nacionalni spjevovi, od Homerovih do Miltonovih. Autor je otpočeo Moby Dicka u namjeri da napiše pustolovno-pomorsku pripovijest u kojoj će autobiografski podaci biti potisnuti maštovitim, dijelom i komičnim prikazom sudbine pripovjedača Ishmaela (imenjaka biblijskoga razbaštinjenog izopćenika) i njegova prijatelja, hrabroga, dobrodušnog Que equega s Polinezijskog otočja. Oni se nalaze u središtu svih zbivanja do 22. poglavlja, a od tog poglavlja karakter knjige se mijenja...
