Résumé

Moby Dick est le nom d'un cachalot que le capitaine Achab traque depuis toujours sur son baleinier le Péquod. Tous les marins présents dans le bateau de chasse ont une histoire, que nous raconte le héros, Ismaël. La traversée en mer devient une épopée pour tous ces hommes, en quête d'aventures !

Auteur

Herman Melville (auteur)

Melville was born into a wealthy family in New York City but faced financial difficulties after his father's death. He married Elizabeth Shaw and had a close relationship with his siblings. Melville's education was interrupted by his father's death, but he showed promise as a student. He worked as a clerk and a school teacher before embarking on a voyage at sea, which inspired his first successful novels, "Typee" and "Omoo." Melville's later works, such as "Moby-Dick" and "Billy Budd," were not as well-received during his lifetime. He faced personal struggles and experienced a decline in popularity, but his works have since been recognized as significant contributions to American literature.
