SINOPSE EM INGLÊS:

“Call me Ishmael…“

For years on end, since Moby Dick‘s publication in 1851 — a masterpiece by American writer Herman Melville — Captain Ahab has figured in major circles of debates as the book’s undeniable protagonist. In this captivating essay, THE UNDERRATED NARRATOR, Brazilian writer Bernardo E. Lopes questions this interpretive tendency by calling the reader’s attention to the strong voice of Ishmael, the character who narrates most of the events in the tale of the White Whale. Lopes lists and explains several passages from Moby Dick that restore to Ishmael his so often overshadowed glow — the aspects that characterize much of the ironic humor, grace, and audacity of one of the most important, most philosophical, and most amusing novels of all times.

Bernardo E. Lopes is the author of several other books and short stories, including the novelette Dona, also published in English. He is the Founding President of the Academy of Sciences and Letters of Sabará, his hometown in Minas Gerais state, in Brazil.
