Moby-Dick; or, The Whale

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 00:16:11 +0000

«Моби Дик» — главный роман Мелвилла. В его основу легли личные впечатления от работы автора на китобойном судне, а также услышанные им реальные истории. Однако нельзя назвать «Моби Дика» полностью автобиографическим произведением. Основной сюжетной линией романа является история рассказчика Измаила, попавшего на «Пекод» — судно капитана Ахава, одержимого поимкой белого кашалота по имени Моби Дик. Причина такой ненависти капитана кроется в том, что в одном из прошлых плаваний он потерял ногу по вине белого кита. Воспользуйтесь возможностью насладиться этой увлекательной историей на языке оригинала.

Moby-Dick

Tue, 21 May 2024 02:53:04 +0000

With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd, Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury and co-editor of ‘Poetry Review’
Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahab’s quest to avenge the whale that ‘reaped’ his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic.
But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab’s appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each.
Among the crew is Ishmaеl, the novel’s narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing. Expanding to equal his ‘mighty theme’ — not only the whale but all things sublime — Melville breathes in the world’s great literature. Moby Dick is the greatest novel ever written by an American.
