The book is the story by sailor Ishmael about the relentless search of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for vengeance on Moby Dick, the massive white sperm whale that bit off Ahab\'s leg at the knee on the ship\'s earlier voyage.

Herman Melville (New York, 1819-1891) es una de las principales figuras de la historia de la literatura. Cuatro años a bordo de un ballenero, en los mares del Sur, le inspiraron un buen número de novelas de aventuras: Typee (1846) y Omoo (1847) se basan en sus vivencias en las islas Marquesas; Redburn (1849) y La guerra blanca (1850) describen las duras y degradantes condiciones de vida en la marina. Su obra maestra, en la que vertió magistralmente todas sus inquietudes y su talento literario, fue Moby Dick (1851).
