Annotation Moby Dick
This is a great sea story - perhaps the greatest ever written.
Acors, critics, impresarios, film producers, have all sought to make us aware of its quality. But Melville's pages about Captain Ahab and his hunt for the white whale defy any attempts to confine this special atmosphere within film or theatre. The book is an epic, a memorable summing up of man, the universe, the elemental and the spiritual life forces, from which the surge of the seas is never absent. Then there are the excitements, the dangers, the graphic description of the whale hunt itself, dominating the biblical sweep of the prose at every turn.
The sea can reveals a man to himself. In Melville's book the sea not only reveals itself in all its calms and storms but becomes interrelated to the characters as well, so that Captain Ahab becomes one with the mighty elements in which he is set.
