You may have a point I was going to check out Moby Dick at the library but then I saw this and realized I already know the good stuff. Why RTFM when you can get the cliff notes? Who has time for "...layers of literary symbolism..." these days? Sounds like something that would take too much rendering. :
Moby-Dick
Herman Melville
Moby-Dick is Herman Melville's American classic in which Ishmael details his adventure as a whaler under the leadership of Captain Ahab. Aboard The Pequod, Ishmael tells of Ahab's maniacal search for the leviathan that took his leg — the sperm whale Moby Dick. Melville combines a deep knowledge of whaling with layers of literary symbolism as the peg-legged captain's single-minded hunt leads to his doom.
