More than just a novel of adventure, this is a haunting social commentary populated with some of the most enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith and the nature of perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePenguin Clothbound Classics are bound in cloth and not paper. The design is stamped on in foil, and each cover repeats one small icon taken from the story. The series was designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, who took her inspiration from Victorian bookbinding. Each book has coloured endpapers and a ribbon bookmark. They make beautiful presents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foil can rub off if the books are stacked tightly, so give them a little room on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Herman Melville\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClassic fiction (pre c 1945)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 26 Sep 2013 by Penguin Books Ltd.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Melville, Herman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718469042554,"sku":"9780141199603","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780141199603.jpg?v=1754414565","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/es\/products\/moby-dick-or-the-whale-9780141199603","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
