As they search for the savage white whale, Ishmael questions all aspects of life. The story is woven in complex, lyrical language and uses many theatrical forms, such as stage direction and soliloquy. It is considered the exemplar of American Romanticism, and one of the greatest American novels of all time.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Herman Melville</note> <subject> <topic>Literature</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>English Fictions</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">813.3</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M531-H55</classification> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16536/14a.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16536/14a.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2025-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071617.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
