Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a novel by American writer Herman Melville, published in 1851 during the period of the American Renaissance. Sailor Ishmael tells the story of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler the Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, the white whale that on the previous whaling voyage bit off Ahab&#8217;s leg at the knee. The novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author&#8217;s death in 1891, but during the 20th century, its reputation as a Great American Novel was established. William Faulkner confessed he wished he had written it himself, and D. H. Lawrence called it &#8220;one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world&#8221;, and &#8220;the greatest book of the sea ever written&#8221;.&#8221;Call me Ishmael&#8221; is among world literature&#8217;s most famous opening sentences.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The product of a year and a half of writing, the book draws on Melville&#8217;s experience at sea, on his reading in whaling literature, and on literary inspirations such as Shakespeare and the Bible. The white whale is modeled on the notoriously hard to catch actual albino whale Mocha Dick, and the ending is based on the sinking of the whaler Essex by a whale.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24856\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2017\/02\/md.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24856\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24856\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2017\/02\/md-450x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2017\/02\/md-450x270.jpg 450w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2017\/02\/md-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2017\/02\/md-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2017\/02\/md.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-24856\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An interesting stage layout!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After the play, we dropped by Old Ranch for a drink and to coordinate with one of our invited guests!\u00a0 Guess who was there?\u00a0 Zack!\u00a0 He was repairing their TV system needs to be working for tomorrow&#8217;s Superbowl.\u00a0 They had lost the High Definition capability.\u00a0 We have faith&#8230; All will be ready for tomorrow&#8217;s Superbowl!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After a very brief stop at home we went to the Garden Grove Elks to dance but ended up not staying very long as Paul&#8217;s cough was driving him wild!\u00a0 We departed about 9:00 and crashed around 11:30 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were up and at it by 8:00 AM planning the remainder of the day!\u00a0 We had a little bit of rain so naturally it was time an emergency run to the market.\u00a0 No big deal AND the market was &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/?p=24851\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,24,17,4],"tags":[140,41,26,14,153,144],"class_list":["post-24851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dancing","category-food-and-wine","category-friends","category-fun","tag-dancing","tag-dining-out","tag-elks-lodge","tag-old-ranch","tag-seasons-52","tag-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24851"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24906,"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24851\/revisions\/24906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
