Summary

Moby-Dick : Or, the Whale


It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet for each author's surname. Jessica Hische, a superstar in the world of type design whose work has appeared in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. Moby Dick is the classic tale of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and unknowable as the sea itself. It is both a classic adventure and a profound inquiry into character and faith.
