Questo libro, pubblicato nel 1851 senza alcun successo, e riscoperto nel 1921, quando evidentemente il pubblico, maturato, poteva apprezzarlo, è considerato un capolavoro della letteratura americana, e si è talmente tanto radicato nell'inconscio collettivo che il nome di Moby Dick ha assunto ovunque il significato dell Assoluto irraggiungibile e della inevitabile sconfitta dell'orgoglio umano di fronte alle forze metafisiche.
