'Ahoy there! This is the Pequod, bound round the world.'

In Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Captain Ahab is an eerily compelling madman who focuses his distilled hatred and suffering (and that of generations before him) into the pursuit of a creature as vast, dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. More than just a novel of adventure, this is a haunting social commentary populated with some of the most enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith and the nature of perception.

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

Why Novel North Recommends

'Reading Moby Dick, you feel as though you've accomplished something more than reading a classic, you feel as though you yourself have been transported, that you've embarked on an epic voyage and returned changed because of it.  An experience which stays with you.

It’s an incredible feat. Profound and humorous. Epic in scale and uncompromising in detail. An adventure classic.’
