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. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Andersons recent film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguins own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility . With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hisches hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series debuted with an A for Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice , a B for Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre , and a C for Willa Cathers My Antonia . It continues with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant gifts or to showcase on your own shelves. M is for Melville , who wrote of his masterpiece, ``It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it.`` In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, Moby-Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.
