Classic & Older Gothic
by Herman Melville
Captain Ahab commands the Pequod on a vengeful hunt for the white whale that maimed him, binding his crew to his monomaniacal obsession. Melville's epic is both a thrilling sea adventure and a philosophical meditation on fate, nature, and the destructive power of obsession. A towering achievement of American literature that plunges into the depths of the human soul.
