Moby Dick is the epic saga of the fanatic Captain Ahab, who swears vengeance on the mammoth white whale who has crippled him. The first American novel to win a place in the literature of the world, it has been called a realistic story of whaling, a romance of unusual adventure and weird characters, a symbolic allegory, and a drama of heroic determination and conflict. The Atlantic Monthly called it “the greatest of American novels.” And if, perchance, it is not the greatest, it surely is a masterfully symbolic account of the conflict between man and his fate.
Of Moby Dick, John Masefield says: “In that wild, beautiful romance, Melville seems to have spoken the very secret of the Sea, and to have drawn into his tale all the magic, all the sadness, all the wild joy of many waters. It stands quite alone; it strikes a note no other sea writer has ever struck.and so is amongst the world’s great works of Art.”
Adams Morgan, trained in the theater, has appeared in venues around the United States. He has narrated for National Public Radio and performed radio dramas and historical re-enactments. He lives in New York City.
