While each of these perspectives compete for prominence in the narrative, Ahab and Ishmael‘s stories have often distracted from the vital significance of the whaling narrative as what outlasts Ahab’s obsessive mission. Catalano rights this wrong by coming to a strikingly original and thought-provoking conclusion which becomes the heart of the book‘s argument: “the unity of Melville’s book comes, first, from the way the numerous literary, philosophical, and religious reflections are rooted in those magnificent beings, whales and in the men and ships that pursue them, and, second, in the way these reflections illuminate our own lives.”. | | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | | 关键词 | Herman Melville; Ahab; Queequeg; Moby-Dick; Ishmael; Whales | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-40357-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-40357-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
