Moby Dick is a novel by Herman Melville, published in 1851, and is considered one of the most important works of world literature. The story centers on Captain Ahab, who is driven by a fanatical obsession to hunt the white whale Moby Dick, which once tore off his leg.

The whale itself becomes an ambiguous symbol of the incomprehensible and the overpowering.
