Moby Dick is the greatest novel written by an American.

[RenadTreeInElgana]

Moby Dick is the greatest example for the symbolic of humanity fighting the environment but i hear it caused the popularity of Herman to decrease and i don't understand why 

[SlavishTongue]

We learn about European literature in schools and while studying literature on Universities, but there is still to little about American works here in Poland, in my opinion. "Moby Dick" is for sure on of the greatest novels which were created by man. Some people say, that it's the last or one of the last few works, that contains such a big dose of metaphysics. Postmodernism looks so poor comparing to this.

You Who collect these things for us to see, I bow my head. Thanks : )

[RaskolnikovRomanovic]

@julissakent31 Call me Ishmael. I'm on a boat. I make some friends, but there are some pretty fierce speciments on board. Queqeeg is a monster of an islander and one of the 3 harpooners. But the hardest case of all is Cap'n Ahab, a fierce, tyrannical Quaker whose singular obsession & utter Mania is to seek the white whale, moby dick. After all, he took his leg, wrecked a boat and killed some dudes. Now its payback, and god drag us straight to hell if we do not hunt moby dick to his death.

"Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more...?"

[rotterdam1953]

I couldn't get on with the later version of the film even if the script was much closer to the actual book than the 1956 film. Once you see Orson Wells, nothing comes closer to it and with regards to Gregory Peck playing Mapple in the later version - well, forget it.

Peck was a completely lost cause in both - even by his own admittance.

I had the chance to meet a guy who was a young lad who lived in the Irish village they filmed the Pub and harbour scenes.

Another excellent job! Well done!

[tomtulliver]

Thank you everyone for the kind remarks and attention.

[Alcester]

please, can someone tell me what is the name of this piece of J.S.Bach or in wich compilation of him can I find it?

[tomtulliver]

Hi Alcester. The J.S. Bach in the video is the second movement of the Concerto in E (BWV 1042). Specifically, I used Barenboim's version with the English Chamber Orchestra

[Alcester]

Big thanks for your reply ;)

[rastjo1]

In this book is everything.

[dapoetmaster]

I agree. Melville plumbed the depths well. It holds within it's pages all of life's great mysteries.

[mvp111MCA]

The best novel ever

[Wolffur]

Pretty cool

[grbomr]

this is beautiful - the kent illustrations are my favorite. he used vertical lines and shading in his images to pull the reader *away* from the text! my kind of guy... kind of. :)
