Descriere magazin:
nAmbitious, brave, and strange.--Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan n nFrom the NBCC-winning author, a subversive, rollicking, and feminist retelling of Moby-Dick through the eyes of one inimitable womann nI must work on a ship as a man . . . Yes, I must seek a new life, more adventurous than that of my fellows on this desolate salt marsh. I must find freedom on the seas.n nOne of the most acclaimed Chinese-born writers of her generation, Xiaolu Guo is the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Nine Continents and a Granta Best Young British Novelist. In Call Me Ishmaelle, Guo turns Herman Melville\'s masterpiece on its head with a modern feminist, diasporic sensibility.n n1843. Ishmaelle is born in a small village on the stormy Kent coast where she grows up swimming with dolphins. After her parents and infant sister die, her brother, Joseph, leaves to find work as a sailor. Abandoned and desperate for a life at sea, Ishmaelle disguises herself as a cabin boy and travels to New York. Years later, as the American Civil War breaks out, Ishmaelle boards the Nimrod, a whaling ship led by the obsessive Captain Seneca, a Black free man of heroic stature who is haunted by a tragic past. Here, she finds protectors amidst the bloody male violence of whaling and discovers a mysterious bond between herself and the white whale who claimed Seneca\'s leg. n nBuilt on the bones of Melville\'s classic, Call Me Ishmaelle is a dynamic new tale, imbued with a diverse, swashbuckling crew--from a Polynesian harpooner to a Taoist Monk--and a powerful exploration of human nature, gender, man\'s place among the animals, and the nature of home.n
