The purpose of this text is to capture, as far as is possible, the beauty and purpose of the writing in an condensed and readable form. Melville, by his own admission, was torn between what he wanted to write and what he imagined others would wish to read. Much of the plot redundancy, contextual flavor, and extensive history of the whaling industry has been removed. What is left is Melville’s rich allegory and haunting prose, framed by nothing but the elegant plot, presented in a form suitable to read in a single sitting.
