Translated from Amazon using Google translate: Melville starts from afar. Initiations, introductions, philosophical arguments about the benefits of sea voyages are, we note, from the first person, on behalf of Ishmael. Initially, Izmail appears before the reader is a mature, wise man. Then suddenly it turns out that Ishmael is a very young man, a romantic hero who wants to see the world. Behavior, words, deeds, thoughts vividly testify to this. His acquaintance with Quique, the entire length of time before getting on board the Pecoda, all this concerns young Ishmael. Here it becomes clear that the original "Ismail philosopher" is someone else, perhaps the author himself.
