Herman Melville's MOBY DICK is a story with a deep and rhythmic flow that swallows the reader into the depths of a man verses beast saga. The beauty of his words transfixes the story into one that emphasizes the confusing emotions of love and hate. Can one exist without the other? The novel takes a person into emotional turmoil as the quest to conquer rises above any common sense as Ahab throws his crew into an ill-fated adventure.

Some might dismiss this as a revenge fantasy, but that would be missing the deeply ingrained, cultural story it tells about America's "peculiar institution" and how it sullied and destroyed everyone it touched. No so-called "sin" in this novel comes close to our nation's original sin of slavery.
