Moby Dick (Fingerprint! Classics)

Ishmael signs on to the whaleship Pequod and finds its captain bent on a single purpose: hunting down the white whale that took his leg. Herman Melville's novel follows that pursuit while filling the voyage with the trade of whaling itself, a crew drawn from many nations and beliefs, and Ahab's steady slide from grievance into obsession. The doubt spreading among the men gives the chase its tension, since the question is less whether the whale will be found than what the hunt will cost.
