37 - Chapter 109-113. Moby Dick, or the Whale by Herman Melville.
Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is an 1851 novel by Herman Melville, narrated by Ishmael, about the obsessive quest of Captain Ahab to hunt and kill the giant white sperm whale, Moby Dick, that took his leg. Considered a "Great American Novel," it blends adventure with deep philosophical themes about obsession, nature, fate, and humanity's place in the world, using detailed 19th-century whaling life as its backdrop. Despite being a commercial failure at the time, its reputation grew immensely in the 20th century, and it is now celebrated for its complex characters, rich symbolism, and literary innovation.
