Summary:
Melville's classic story of whaling, romance of unusual adventure and eccentric characters, and a drama of heroic conflict. In New Bedford, Connecticut in the 1800s, a group of seamen board the whaling ship Pequod, captained by Ahab. They know they're out to harpoon whales; what they don't realize is that Ahab once lost a leg to the magnificent white whale Moby Dick, and that he'll risk anything, including himself and every member of his crew, to get back at the animal that maimed him.
