Description: Herman Melville's classic seafaring adventure has been a favorite of readers for generations.
"Call me Ishmael" is the iconic opening line of Herman Melville's classic American novel Moby-Dick. Ishmael is a seaman aboard the whaling vessel Pequod, under the vengeful captain Ahab. Maniacally seeking retribution from the great white sperm whale called Moby-Dick--the whale responsible for the captain's missing leg--Ahab leads the crew on a quest to kill the infamous beast. A fictional work based on actual events, Moby-Dick is a classic that has been enjoyed for generations, and this edition featuring colorful sprayed edges and a heat-burnished cover with foil stamping makes it a stylish addition to your bookshelf.Brief description: Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American writer best known for the novel Moby-Dick. His first three books gained much contemporary attention, but after a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime.
