Google celebrated on Thursday the 161st anniversary of the publication of the novel Moby-Dick or The Whale written by Herman Melville, an American novelist, poet, essayist and short story writer. It was published on October 18, 1851.
The classic novel Moby Dick, classified as American romanticism, is a symbolic allegory with exemplary commentary on human destiny and universe.
Each character in the novel has symbolic significance. And the plot of the novel revolves around the protagonist Ishmael, an enagmatic character, and his adventure filled voyages on the whaleship Pequod that was under the command of Captain Ahab. Captain Ahab's prime purpose was to find Moby Dick, a violent, mysterious white sperm whale.
The novelist has created a profound and philosophical tale and used many references and metaphor to tell this story.

Herman Melville, celebrated author and the man behind the all-time classic Moby-Dick, is the inspiration behind Thursday's Google doodle.
Moby-Dick is the great epic of whales and waling. It tells the story of Ahab, Captain of the Pequod, and of his revenge-mission and insane pursuit of Moby Dick, the fierce white whale. Among Ahab's crew is Ishmael, a young man undergoing a gruelling rite of passage and pursuing a different salvation. As the Pequod circles the globe like a latter-day Noah's Ark, so Moby Dick ranges and digresses through space and time, through mythologies, religions and philosophies.
The Google doodle depicts a scene from the book where Captain Ahab leads a boat to strike at the huge white whale.
Herman Melville had written Typee and Omoo before he wrote, what he believed was his masterpiece, Moby-Dick. He was shocked by the less-than-flattering reception the book received. One critic described it as '[A]n ill-compounded mixture of romance and matter-of-fact. The idea of a connected and collected story has obviously visited and abandoned its writer again and again in the course of composition. The style of his tale is in places disfigured by mad (rather than bad) English; and its catastrophe is hastily, weakly, and obscurely managed.'
It wasn't until way after Herman Melville's death and the end of World War I that Herman Melville was rediscovered and Moby-Dick fou

Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 -- September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet. He is best known for his novel Moby-Dick. His first three books gained much contemporary attention (the first, Typee, becoming a bestseller), and after a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime. When he died in 1891, he was almost completely forgotten. It was not until the 'Melville Revival' in the early 20th century that his work won recognition, especially Moby-Dick, which was hailed as one of the literary masterpieces of both American and world literature. He was the first writer to have his works collected and published by the Library of America.
