520 $aIn a letter to a friend, in 1849, Herman Melville wrote, ́I love all men who dive ́Œany fish can swim near the surface, but it takes a great whale to go down stairs 5 miles or more. ́ He foreshadows his emotional and introspective work Moby-Dick, or The Whale. With its detailed plot and involved symbols, readers can dive deep into their own hearts, but they can also choose to stay on the surface and enjoy this wonderful adventure of the highest caliber.As Captain Ahab urges his ship ́s crew on in search of the great whale, Melville explores themes of religion and race. He harpoons the Calvinistic ideas of predetermination and doomed spiritual grace, and replaces them with more Romantic ideas of Noble Savagery and self-redemption. The search for the whale and what it represents is both a personal and universal one.
