by Herman Melville
Published 2024
Herman Melvilles Moby Dick folgt der dramatischen Jagd von Kapitän Ahab nach dem legendären weißen Wal, einem Symbol für das Unergründliche und Unbesiegbare der Natur. Ahabs Besessenheit führt ihn und seine Crew in den Untergang, und der Roman wird so zu einer Allegorie über den Kampf des Menschen mit sich selbst und seiner Umwelt. Moby Dick bleibt ein zeitloses Meisterwerk, welches den Leser dazu anregt, über die tiefen Konflikte im menschlichen Herzen und die Kraft der Natur nachzudenken. Die Tiefe der Geschichte und Melvilles meisterhafte Sprache machen das Werk unvergänglich. Erstmals erschienen 1851. Hier in der vielgelesenen Übersetzung von Wilhelm Strüver.
