This graphic-novel version
of the classic story Moby Dick, translated from Spanish, is very well
done, and it includes notes on Melville, information on legendary whales, and
notes on the novel and its cinematic adaptations.
The author of the adaptation is an established screenwriter, and the illustrator has a wide variety of experiences and has won awards for his work. In a skinny little book, they have succeeded in conveying the adventure, pathos, heart and humor of this great novel. This is a highly recommended way to get kids interested in classical literature. Recommended for elementary and middle-school readers, and hi-lo readers at the high-school level.
