A crew of whalers set out in pursuit of a fierce white whale.

Their names ring through the canon of American literature: Ishmael, the narrator; Queenqueg, a South Seas harpooner; Starbuck, the sober and serious chief mate; and above all Captain Ahab, part Faust and part Job, leading them to the ends of the earth - and the destiny he will share with his foe.

In ""Moby-Dick"", Melville set out to write ""a mighty book"" on a ""mighty theme"".

This text of ""Moby-Dick"" is an Approved Text of the Center for Scholarly Editions (Modern Language Association of America).
