We are currently reading Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, a classic American adventure novel based on the sailing experience of the author. The book was originally a commercial failure, but has since been recognized as a "work of absolute genius centuries ahead of its time". (The New Yorker) Melville is often referred to as the "American Shakespeare" who takes a story about 19th-century seafaring life and turns it into a poetic philosophical examination of universal themes like the dangers of obsession and the power of nature. It is a brilliant, thought-provoking tale of human nature.
