"Moby Dick" is a novel by Herman Melville, first published in 1851, while the movie adaptations are cinematic interpretations of the book. The book provides a detailed narrative of Captain Ahab's quest for revenge against the white whale Moby Dick, exploring themes of obsession, fate, and the nature of humanity, while the movies often condense or reinterpret the story for visual storytelling.
