Bent as the crew is on Ahab's appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAmong the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing. Expanding to equal his 'mighty theme' - not only the whale but all things sublime - Melville breathes in the world's great literature. \u003cem\u003eMoby Dick\u003c\/em\u003e is the greatest novel ever written by an American.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.97 x 7.09 x 5.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42170586857607,"sku":"9781840228304","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/6c6da5d4c777917b3c906348615d1188.webp?v=1733349281","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/moby-dick-hardcover-16","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
