READING AGE 16+
First published as Moby-d**k; or, The Whale in 1851, Herman Melville’s epic tale about obsession and greed shows no signs of losing popularity in the digital age.

This new digital edition of Moby d**k includes a newly corrected text and an image gallery showcasing original illustrations from early editions of the novel, as well as several portraits of author Melville.
"One of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world." - D. H. Lawrence.
