"Llamadme Ismael. Hace unos años —no importa cuánto hace exactamente—, teniendo poco o ningún dinero en el bolsillo, y nada en particular que me interesara en tierra, pensé que me iría a navegar un poco por ahí, para ver la parte acuática del mundo. Es un modo que tengo de echar fuera la melancolía y arreglar la circulación." "Moby-Dick" es una novela de Herman Melville publicada en 1851. Narra la travesía del barco ballenero «Pequod», comandado por el capitán Ahab, junto a Ismael y el arponero Quiqueg en la obsesiva y autodestructiva persecución de un gran cachalote blanco.
Аннотация
"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me." "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville was first published in 1851. The book is sailor Ishmael's narrative of the obsessive quest of captain Ahab for revenge on the whale Moby Dick that bit off his leg on his previous voyage. The bestselling novel «Moby Dick» is a classic of world literature and marked a great success for Herman Melville.
Аннотация
" Appelez-moi Ismaël. Voici quelques années – peu importe combien – le porte-monnaie vide ou presque, rien ne me retenant à terre, je songeai à naviguer un peu et à voir l'étendue liquide du globe. C'est une méthode à moi pour secouer la mélancolie et rajeunir le sang. " Attiré par la mer et le large, Ismaël, le narrateur, décide de partir à la chasse à la baleine. Il embarque sur le Pequod, baleinier commandé par le capitaine Achab, avec son nouvel ami Queequeg. Ismaël se rend vite compte que le bateau ne chasse pas uniquement pour alimenter le marché de la baleine. L'ouvrage Moby Dick de Herman Melviille est un monument érigé à la gloire de marins téméraires, ainsi qu'une ode à la folie humaine. Clairté du style, puissance des descriptions. Un roman grandiose.
