First published in 1851, Herman Melville's Moby-Dick is a towering work of American literature that combines seafaring adventure with philosophical depth. At its center is Captain Ahab's relentless pursuit of the white whale, a quest that transforms into a haunting meditation on obsession, fate, and the struggle between humanity and the natural world. Narrated by Ishmael, a sailor aboard the whaling ship Pequod, the novel blends vivid depictions of life at sea with reflections on faith, knowledge, and the limits of human power.

At once an epic narrative and a profound exploration of existence, Moby-Dick endures as one of the most influential and studied novels in the literary canon.

This version has been formatted for bionic reading, a formatting method that highlights the first few letters of each word in bold. It's designed to support faster and more focused reading by guiding the eyes and reducing visual fatigue. Though beneficial for everyone, this technique is especially popular among readers with ADHD or concentration difficulties. There is also a short but helpful study guide at the end of the book.
