Moby Dick (Graphic Novel)
Moby Dick (Graphic Novel) | Herman Melville
39 posts | 8 read | 10 to read
A masterful adaptation of the timeless literary classic, faithfully and beautifully rendered by an award-winning artist. In striking black-and-white illustrations, Chaboute retells the story of the Great American Novel. Captain Ahab strikes out on a voyage, obsessively seeking revenge on the great white whale that took his leg. This hardcover edition collects both of the Vents d'Ouest volumes, printed in English for the first time.

As with any graphic novel adaptation, this is a very brief read in comparison to the original novel. It gives no true feeling of the breadth and depth of this classic novel. Yet, I think it does express Ahab‘s obsession with the white whale very well. The text in the image is quoted from the Foreword. I appreciate what it has to say about the structure of the novel being comparable to a sea voyage.

I‘ve never read the novel Moby Dick, but thanks to this brilliant graphic novel adaptation, nominated for an Eisner Award, I just might now. Chaboute shows, through black and white drawings and text, Capt. Ahab‘s obsession with the white whale and his increasingly dangerous behavior as he drives his men on the Pequod to find and destroy Moby Dick. https://cannonballread.com/2018/11/snubbed-and-bingo-3/

I‘ve started Moby Dick a few times and it just didn‘t take, but my son recently read this graphic novel and felt I needed to as well.

It was interesting, and nice to know a little more about this classic that I‘ve otherwise been bored to distraction by. Maybe I should get the graphic novel of other classics I haven‘t read 😬😂.

PurpleyPumpkin Mmm, I didn‘t realize there was a graphic novel of Moby Dick. Maybe that‘s how I‘ll be able to finish it! I tried reading it in 2016, but didn‘t finish it and haven‘t gone back to it. Yet. 7y

In love with the black and white illustrations ❤️

callielafleur Have you read Moby Dick before? 7y
Clwojick No! One of my friends promised to by me one after I won a dare to chop off 3" of my hair. It was the first time I cut my hair in 12 years, but soooo worth it. I want a specific edition though, so once I find it, I'll be calling him to bring me shopping. ?? @callielafleur 7y

This graphic novel has some beautiful one sentence pages throughout the story, and I've decided I'm going to share them all. I will mark them all as ☠️ Contains Spoilers, but they are just so gorgeous I simply can't pass up sharing them. I'll be using the tag #MobyDickByChaboute if you want to read along with me. ❤️️❤️️❤️️

Zelma Oooh, I didn‘t realize the author/illustrator when you posted about this edition. Adding to TBR! 7y

Getting started on these beast of a graphic novel.... just as soon as I pick out a bookmark. 🐳

MayJasper Ooh I didn't know there was a graphic novel version 7y

Clwojick @callielafleur I bought a 30 pack on eBay for $3 and then had to wait 2 months for them to arrive in the mail. I stalked my mailbox everyday, and finally freaked out the day they arrived. ❤️️❤️❤️🐳🐳🐳❤️❤️❤️ 7y

GPJ @Clwojick Eeeee! 🐋 7y
TricksyTails 😍😍😍🐳 Love this photo! Not going to lie, I'm still resentful towards Moby Dick since my guardian forced me to read it one summer instead of letting me play outside with the rest of the kids. I've been wanting to reread this. If you're ever up to do a buddy read, let me know. I need all the support I can get to trudge through this book. 7y
Clwojick @TricksyTails I might be up for a buddy read of this! I do want to read it, but probably won't commit to reading a book of that size until after the wedding. Also, Cory owes me a pretty copy, so I'm waiting on that. 7y
TricksyTails I am in NO rush. Let me know when! 7y

Uh oh! Look where I found myself again 🙈🙈🙈🙈 I left super early this morning, so that I can spend some time at the library before my shift starts at 2pm. I've got 2.5 hours to read my little heart out. ❤️️

Mdargusch Sounds like a great start to your day! 7y
