Described by D H Lawrence as "the greatest book of the sea ever written" and now heralded as a classic of American literature, Moby Dick tells the story of sailer Ishmael and his voyage aboard the whaling ship, Pequod. The ship''s captain, Ahab, had previously lost a battle with a white whale, during which both his ship and the lower part of his leg were destroyed. Ishmael signs up for what he thinks will be a normal whaling trip, but as the voyage progresses, he realises that Captain Ahab is after one thing - revenge.
