Yet I mean to give the truth of the thing, spite of this. " Moby-Dick has a monumental reputation. Less well known are the novel's unexpectedly weird, funny, tantalizing, messy, and wondrous moments. Narrator Ishmael, along with the whaleship Pequod's other "meanest mariners, and renegades and castaways", is beguiled into joining Captain Ahab in his vengeful pursuit of the white whale that "dismasted" him. But along the way, Ishmael takes the reader along many a detour into variegated ways of knowing. In a tone "strangely compounded of fun and fury", Moby-Dick brings outlandish curiosity to bear on the multitudinous, oceanic scale of our diverse world. 600 00 $a Ishmael $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Whaling ships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ship captains $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Whaling $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Whales $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Sea stories. 655 7 $a Sea fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Blum, Hester, $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012527.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=80D0B094495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
