The release date for the English version of 'Moby-Dick or, The Whale' by Herman Melville is Feb 2003. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.

It's the awful weave of a cloth meant to be made of ship cables and hawsers. It is blasted by a Polar wind, and raptors loom over it."

Melville described his masterwork as one of the most imaginative pieces of writing in the annals of literature. A portion of Moby-Dick tells the tale of an unsettlingly captivating lunatic fighting an ungodly battle against an entity as big, terrible, and unknown as the ocean. However, the book is more than simply an adventure story or an encyclopedia of whaling myth and legend; it is also a part of the author's ongoing contemplation of America. Though Moby-Dick is written with a beautifully redeeming sense of humor, it is also a serious investigation of perception, religion, and character.

The canonical text of the book is reproduced in this version of Moby-Dick, which also has a glossary of nautical words, maps, and helpful explanatory notes.
