{"product_id":"moby-dick-9780099511182","title":"Moby Dick","description":"When Ishmael sets sail on the whaling ship Pequod one cold Christmas Day, he is clueless to the horrors that await him on the vast and merciless ocean. The ship's strange captain, Ahab, is in the grip of an obsession to hunt down the famous white whale, Moby Dick, and will stop at nothing on his quest to annihilate his nemesis. Considered a failure during Melville's lifetime but now hailed as a classic American novel, Ishmael's story combines symbolism and philosophical debate with gripping adventure narrative in an uncanny and unforgettable fashion. An extract from \u003ci\u003eNarrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-ship Essex\u003c\/i\u003e by Owen Chase--which inspired Melville's own story--is also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099511182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.00w x 1.70d","brand":"Herman Melville","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634714701980,"sku":"9780099511182","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9f321831-6393-4668-a609-c9390ad0b095.jpg?v=1603837458","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/moby-dick-9780099511182","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
