Name of the book: Mody Dick
Author: Herman Melville
Publishing company: Thomson
Year of publishing:2005
Number of pages:246

This book has 18 chapters and I have read 3 chapters. Ishmael is a school teacher but he wants to do something different in his life. Sailing is the way he likes.
This time Ishmael decided to go on a whaling ship instead of a merchant vessel. When Ishmael headed to the whaling ship he had planed, the bad weather made him stay at an inn, where he met a new friend-Queequeg.
The first time when Ishmael saw Queequeg, he thought Queequeg was a rude and savage man. Soon, he found Queequeg was not such a terrible but a friendly guy.

The reason why I chose this book is that it is a famous novel but I haven't had a chance to read it before. This book really indicates the nervous relationship between people who live in modern cities and who live in the places that are not so thrive.

"Moby Dick" published in 2005? You must be talking about a very different edition. Is this a re-told version?
