zjednodušená anglická četba pro mládež a dospělé s poslechovým CD ( úroveň 4) Moby Dick je epický příběh o cestě na velrybářské lodi Pequod. Kapitán Achab, podivný muž s dřevěnou nohou má jen jeden smysl života: najít a zabít Moby Dicka, velkou bílou velrybu... Adventure Moby Dick is an epic tale of the voyage of the whaling ship the Pequod and its captain, Ahab, who relentlessly pursues the great white whale during a journey around the world. The story is seen through the eyes of Ishmael, a sailor on the Pequod. Ishmael arrives in New Bedford where he meets Queequeg, a harpooner from the South Pacific, who becomes his inseparable friend during the long whaling voyage. Captain Ahab, a strange man with a peg leg, has only one purpose in life: to find and kill Moby Dick, the great white whale that had chewed off his leg years ago. Ahab’s voyage is one of revenge and, in the end, one of disaster. A landmark of American literature, this novel touches numerous important themes such as good, evil, revenge, superstition, obsession, courage and madness.
