Book summary

Ishmael, a young sailor, signs on at Nantucket aboard the Pequod, a whaler commanded by Captain Ahab. Ahab lost a leg to a white sperm whale, Moby Dick, and has only one idea left: to find it and kill it.

This novel made the white whale the symbol of every obsession, and its first line, “Call me Ishmael”, is one of the most famous in literature.

With the translation always in front of you, you can experience this great sea adventure in the language you are learning.

The world of the book

Whaling. Around 1850, many homes are lit with whale oil. American ships set out to hunt whales across every ocean, for three or four years at a time.
