The Prosthetic Arts of Moby-Dick (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Prosthetic Arts of Moby-Dick offers the first book-length study of how physical disability shapes one of the world's most iconic novels. Rather than see Ahab's lost limb as a deficiency, however, it explores the way that his prosthesis becomes both a means to power and a key figure for understanding the role that Islamic cultures play in the novel's plot and form.
