Official synopsis Publisher

Herman Meville tuvo su primera escuela en los camarotes de un barco; enrolado como grumete en un navio que hacia la travesia desde Estados Unidos a Inglaterra, en joven Huerfano Melville recoge en su memoria ideas y vivencia que se vaan reflejadas despues en sus novelas. Su vida se desenvolvio entre viajes en barcos balleneros, motines y deserciones; y, finalmente, se concentro en la produccion literaria, de la que obtuvo mas fracasos que exitos. Su gran obra, Moby Dick, tuvo esperar casi un siglo hasta ser reconocida como un verdadero clasico con una acogida digna de su gran calidad literaria.

El capitan Achab, a bordo del pequod, solo tiene una ida: dar caza a un cachalote blanco al que ha llamado Moby dick. La novela es un cuadro apasionante de la vida marina, de su crueldad de sus alegrias y miserias. En ella desfilan personajes en permamente lucha con el mar, rudos marineros envueltos en el poder de las profecias y el destino. Asistimos a la batalla entre el enloquecido capitan y el fabuloso cetaceo sobrecogidos ante una fuerza que solo puede nacer en el Corazon humano.
