Hvalurinn
Moby Dick, Icelandic edition
(Author) Herman MelvilleHvalurinn er saga ógnvekjandi brjálæðings sem stundar óheilagt stríð gegn veru eins víðfeðmum og hættulegum og óÞekkjanlegum eins og hafið sjálft. En meira en bara ævintýraskáldsaga, meira en alfræðiorðabók um hvalveiðarfræði og Þjóðsögur, má líta á bókina sem hluta af ævilangri hugleiðslu höfundarins um Ameríku. Moby-Dick er skrifaður með dásamlega endurlausnarhúmor og er einnig djúpstæð rannsókn á eðli, trú og eðli skynjunar.
