Reading Moby-Dick | Alexandria
Read Moby-Dick by Herman Melville. Exposing the iconic white whale as more than just a monster reveals Melville's uncanny insight: our deepest obsessions mirror the vast, unknowable universe itself. By showing how vengeful Captain Ahab embodies humanity's doomed quest for absolute knowledge, Moby-Dick challenges our illusion of control in an age still wrestling with nature's mysteries.
