Ishmael quickly learns that the <em>Pequod</em>'s captain sails for revenge against the elusive Moby Dick, a sperm whale with a snow-white hump and mottled skin that destroyed Ahab's former vessel and left him crippled. As the <em>Pequod</em> sails deeper through the nights and into the sea, the divisions between man and nature begin to blur--so do the lines between good and evil, as the fates of the ship's crewmen become increasingly unclear. . . .</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Herman Melville<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 06/07/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 608<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.40lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780062085641
