Summary

In the canonical epic—one of the greatest, most lasting novels in American history—Captain Ahab descends into madness as he sails in search of Moby Dick, the elusive white whale that destroyed his ship, crippled him, and sent him on an unstoppable quest for revenge. Blending elements from adventure stories, Elizabethan drama, and epic poetry, Melville crafts a tale of fate and vengeance years ahead of its time. A critical failure at its first publication, MOBY DICK now takes its rightful place among American classics.
Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, the Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in the classroom.
Available since: 06/30/2015.

    'The Lovely Lady' is a fine observation of a life - the lovely lady of the title - which thrives by sucking the life out of others. The two victims escape by a somewhat melodramatic and comical means but in the process destroy the lovely lady and form what will probably be a dull and passionless union.
