This is the 'Penguin English Library Edition' of 'Moby-Dick' by Herman Melville. 'The frail gunwales bent in, collapsed, and snapped, as both jaws, like an enormous shears, sliding further aft, bit the craft completely in twain…' 'Moby-Dick' is one of the most expansive feats of imagination in the whole of literature: the mad, raging, Shakespearean tale of Captain Ahab's insane quest to kill a giant white whale that has taken his leg, and upon which he has sworn vengeance, at any cost. A creation unlike any other, this is an epic story of fatal monomania and the deepest dreams and obsessions of mankind. 'The Penguin English Library' — 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
