The novel \u2018Moby Dick\u2019 is an almost infinite source of inspiration for study and debate. In his masterpiece from 1851, Herman Melville not only describes the bloody and dangerous reality of sperm whale hunting, he also broaches many other passionate subjects that are still hotly debated today: the mechanisms of social and political control used by dictators; the origins and characteristics of madness; the relationship between the white western world and other civilizations; the place of religion and organized churches in personal and social life.<\/p>\n
Harry Rijnen and Elena Troyano lead their public through the major themes of the book and the personality of its author, giving life to various characters, starting with Herman Melville himself.<\/p>\n
