Moby-Dick

Herman Melville

In CliffsNotes on Moby-Dick, discover Herman Melville's American classic in which Ishmael details his adventure as a whaler under the leadership of Captain Ahab. Aboard The Pequod, Ishmael tells of Ahab's maniacal search for the leviathan that took his leg — the sperm whale Moby Dick. In CliffsNotes on Moby-Dick, you'll see how Melville combines a deep knowledge of whaling with layers of literary symbolism as the peg-legged captain's single-minded hunt leads to his doom.
