Explores the philosophic content of some literary works, analysing and evaluating the ideas that drive the narrative. This book examines, among other things, the concept of free will and determinism in Melville's "Moby Dick", placing the quest for the white whale within the context of foreordination, hubris, prophecy, and defiance of divine power.
