{"product_id":"dive-deeper-journeys-with-moby-dick-9780199855759","title":"Dive Deeper: Journeys with Moby-Dick","description":"Herman Melville's epic tale of obsession has all the ingredients of a first rate drama--fascinating characters in solitude and society, battles between good and evil, a thrilling chase to the death--and yet its allusions, digressions, and sheer scope can prove daunting to even the most\u003cbr\u003eintrepid reader. George Cotkin's \u003cem\u003eDive Deeper\u003c\/em\u003e provides both a guide to the novel and a record of its dazzling cultural train. It supplies easy-to-follow plot points for each of the novel's 135 sections before taking up a salient phrase, image, or idea in each for further exploration. Through these\u003cbr\u003eforays, Cotkin traces the astonishing reach of the novel, sighting the White Whale in mainstream and obscure subcultures alike, from impressionist painting circles to political terrorist cells. In a lively and engaging style, \u003cem\u003eDive Deeper\u003c\/em\u003e immerses us into the depths of Melville's influence on the\u003cbr\u003eliterature, film, and art of our modern world. Cotkin's playful wit and critical precision stretch from Camus to Led Zeppelin, from Emerson to Bob Dylan, and bring to life the terrors and wonders of what is arguably America's greatest novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Cotkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 10.80w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199855759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/30\/2012 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Cotkin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of History at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39937665204339,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2d520113-4909-4198-bcf2-5d79ab1d6e2d.jpg?v=1647995297","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/dive-deeper-journeys-with-moby-dick-9780199855759","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
