Moby Dick (Illustrated) (Great American Novels Book 1) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Over a century and a half after its publication, Moby-Dick still stands as an indisputable literary classic. It is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, Moby-Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception. Quotes from the book: “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.” “Better to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunk Christian.” “It is not down on any map; true places never are.” Readers' reviews: “The greatest novel of all time. This was such an incredible analysis of ambition and exploration that nothing I write here can do it justice. I literally shook while reading the last three chapters.” (Dave, goodreads.com) “Brilliant and bombastic.” (Dave-O, goodreads.com) “Beautiful story about the madness of a man and his war against his enemy: a white wale namen Moby Dick.” (Germa Brouwers, goodreads.com)
