This is an automatically translated description

The story of Ishmael from the whaling ship “Pequod”, who, at the behest of the mad captain Ahab, chases a killer white whale across the oceans, is one of the leading texts of American literature. The story of Moby Dick's chase is not only an incredible adventure, but also a slice of an era and a worldview, science and philosophy: we see how times and people's ideas have changed and how the main issues that concern us remain surprisingly unchanged.

The series, in addition to Moby Dick, will include the most beloved classics by readers, namely:

• Daniel Defoe. Robinson Crusoe
• Alexandre Dumas. Count of Monte Cristo
• Prosper Mérimée. Carmen
• Guy de Maupassant. Dear friend
• Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre
• Oscar Wilde. Portrait of Dorian Gray
• Gustave Flaubert. Mrs Bovary
• Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Venus in Fur
• Sholem Aleichem. Tevye the Milkman
• Charles Dickens. David Copperfield
• Jerome K. Jerome. Three in a Boat, Not Counting the Dog

.

The mechanics of the project are as follows: on the Golden Shelf website, the visitor will find three options to choose from -

• subscribe to an annual subscription to the full series for yourself or a friend (and receive a new book once a month);
• donate the entire series of classics to any library in Ukraine (for example, the library of the city in which he was born);
• simply buy any of the books for yourself (or pre-order).
