Moby Dick- The undoubtful classic of American Literature

Moby Dick is truly a masterpiece. For those who only skim the surface we find an enticing tale of a man driven mad by injury and forced to revenge on his assailant, but if we dare to look past the mask, we find the book not only to contain this, but the struggle between man and God in the universe. Ahab, the mad captain, sets out on a ship representative of the world, in a quest to ultimately destroy Moby Dick, an untamable Spermaceti, in an effort to free himself from the restraints of nature imposed upon man. The book also addresses racism, the human soul, and evil among other issues. Fantastic
