Have you ever been put off by the description on the back of a book even though the book itself is good? Pic related. Why the fuck did they have to say this?

>Bent as the crew is on Ahab's appalling crusade, it is equally the image of co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each.
This doesn't seem very democratic.

Agree. I am reading it here and it seems more like a martial atmosphere. Ahab has a vision and the rest of the crew just goes along with it.

No, I assume book covers are written by grubby publishers looking to make money. Often they lie or misunderstand the material completely.

It's most interesting when you find a first or early edition of a book that later became really well-known and important, and you read the publisher summary of it, necessarily coming from a time before "standard interpretations" had been harmonized.
