135 chapters and the epilogue form a ring in reading order, clockwise from the top. Arc lengths follow word counts on one scale.
Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, Project Gutenberg #2701. 214,138 words in the retained text. Public domain in the U.S.
The arcs share 319.2°; fixed 0.3° seams fill the rest. Words are A–Z letter runs, so hyphenated compounds split. Chapter titles, front matter and Gutenberg notices are excluded. Chapter 54 leads at 8,102 words; Cetology has 5,208, fourth longest.
Arrows step chapters; Home/End goes to Chapter 1/the epilogue. Reduced motion skips the assembly.
