Moby Dick

Herman Melville, Dr Keith (University of Kent at Canterbury) Carabine

From Shelf: 100 Books recommended by Barack Obama

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.
