Moby-Dick was a novella by Gibbson, which mainly told the story of a whaling family of several generations. The story took place in the North Atlantic Ocean in the first half of the 19th century. The protagonist was a white whale hunter named Albert. Albert's father was a famous whaling hunter. He had received strict whaling training since he was young and became an outstanding whaling hunter. However, with the continuous development and transformation of the whaling industry, Albert's father gradually gave up his whaling work, and Albert was gradually involved in another more complicated whaling family. There were many people in this family who were involved in the whaling industry. They not only had to face the internal competition of the whaling industry, but also faced external challenges such as changes in market demand and environmental pressure on the whaling industry. The story of Albert and his family shows the history, culture, tradition and reality of whaling, while also revealing the destruction and disrespect of nature by humans. At the same time, the novel also presents the life and psychology of the whalers, depicting their loneliness, struggle and pursuit.
