Moby-Dick: or, The Whale (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Moby-Dick: or, The Whale (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Part of Penguinâ€™s beautiful hardcover Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

In part,Â Moby-DickÂ is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend,Â Moby-DickÂ is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor,Â Moby-DickÂ is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.

This edition contains the definitive text ofÂ Moby-DickÂ based on the Northwestern-Newberry edition. It also features an introduction by Andrew Delbanco and explanatory commentary by Tom Quirk.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
