*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.
