Why Read Moby-Dick? Reprint edition
Nathaniel Philbrick
A “brilliant and provocative? (The New Yorker) celebration of Melville?s masterpiece—from the bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea
One of the greatest American novels finds its perfect contemporary champion in Why Read Moby-Dick?, Nathaniel Philbrick?s enlightening and entertaining tour through Melville?s classic. As he did in his National Book Award–winning bestseller In the Heart of the Sea, Philbrick brings a sailor?s eye and an adventurer?s passion to unfolding the story behind an epic American journey. He skillfully navigates Melville?s world and illuminates the book?s humor and unforgettable characters—finding the thread that binds Ishmael and Ahab to our own time and, indeed, to all times. An ideal match between author and subject, Why Read Moby-Dick? will start conversations, inspire arguments, and make a powerful case that this classic tale waits to be discovered anew.
