Their captain's insane vision of a Northwest Passage has kept the crewmen of HMS Terror trapped in Arctic ice for two years without a thaw.

The first story in this book is summarized here: this work of fiction was written in 1898 about a passenger ship, the largest one ever built, that rammed an iceberg on her maiden voyage through the North Atlantic. The author named the ship, The Titan. If this sounds familiar to the reader, let me remind you it was written before the Titanic was built and sank in the North Atlantic in 1912.

But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most...
