| Summary | Annotation Moby Dick, la novela que William Faulkner hubiera querido escribir, haalcanzado el reconocimiento y el elogio constante que merece unaconstruccion narrativa impecable. La lucha del capitan Ahab, su terribleobsesion y la mitica persecucion de la enorme ballena han traspasadofronteras, consiguiendo asi la indiscutible categoria de obra maestra dela literatura universal.-Moby Dick es el paradigma novelistico de lo sublime: un logro fuera delo comun.-HAROLD BLOOM ENGLISH DESCRIPTION With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd. Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury Moby-Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest to avenge the whale that 'reaped' his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic. But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab s appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each. Among the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing. " |
