Moby-Dick

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.

Editia Penguin English Library a lui Moby-Dick de Herman Melville ,,Grelele fragile s-au aplecat, s-au prabusit si s-au spart, in timp ce ambele falci, ca o foarfeca enorma, alunecand mai departe, muscau ambarcatiunea complet in doua..." Moby-Dick este una dintre cele mai expansive fapte de imaginatie din intreaga literatura: povestea nebuna, furioasa, shakespeariana a cautarii nebunesti a capitanului Ahab de a ucide o balena alba uriasa care i-a luat piciorul si asupra careia a jurat razbunare, cu orice pret. .
