Sinopse

Moby-Dick follows Ishmael, a contemplative sailor who joins the whaling ship Pequod, commanded by the mysterious and obsessive Captain Ahab. Ishmael seeks adventure and meaning, but soon realizes that the voyage is driven by Ahab's singular purpose: to hunt and kill Moby Dick, a legendary white whale that previously maimed him. As the Pequod sails across the oceans, the multinational crew encounters other ships and faces the dangers of whaling life. Through philosophical reflections, whaling lore, and vivid descriptions of the sea, Ishmael narrates both the grandeur and brutality of human ambition. Ahab's obsession intensifies, blinding him to reason and the warnings of prophetic figures like Fedallah. He believes defeating Moby Dick will give him ultimate power over fate. When the Pequod finally confronts the whale, a fierce battle ensues. Moby Dick destroys the ship and drags Ahab to his death. The entire crew perishes, except Ishmael, who survives by clinging to a coffin-turned-life buoy. He is rescued and becomes the lone storyteller of the doomed voyage. Through its epic journey, Moby-Dick explores themes of obsession, fate, nature's power, and the limits of human knowledge, leaving readers to question the cost of pursuing vengeance at all costs.
