Description

Moby Dick, first published in the UK and the USA in 1851, initially earned incomprehension and bad reviews, being a financial failure for the otherwise successful author. As many great works of literature that established a new style of writing, it was ahead of its time. Only 50 years later it started to gain popularity and became one of the books most recited in films, arts, cartoons, TV and other books. To this day, the story of Ahab chasing Moby Dick to take revenge for biting off his leg is one of the most influential works in world literature.
