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.
