{"product_id":"9781535324847","title":"Moby Dick","description":"\u003cp\u003eHerman Melville (August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period best known for Typee (1846), a romantic account of his experiences in Polynesian life, and his whaling novel Moby-Dick (1851). His work was almost forgotten during his last thirty years. His writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change. He developed a complex, baroque style: the vocabulary is rich and original, a strong sense of rhythm infuses the elaborate sentences, the imagery is often mystical or ironic, and the abundance of allusion extends to Scripture, myth, philosophy, literature, and the visual arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 780 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016-07-17\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46475704631427,"sku":"9781535324847","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781535324847.jpg?v=1770264845","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9781535324847","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
