About this listen

Widely considered one of the great American novels, Herman Melville's masterpiece went largely unread during his lifetime and was out of print at the time of his death in 1891. Called the greatest book about the sea ever written by D.H. Lawrence, Moby Dick features detailed descriptions of whale hunting and whale oil extraction as well as beautiful, incisive writing on race, class, religion, art, and society.

The story, loosely based on a real whaling shipwreck, features the unforgettable, vengeful Captain Ahab, who obsessively hunts a great white whale who bit his leg off below the knee.

The narration makes the complex language easy to understand. A true classic, Moby Dick is by turns is funny and exciting, and the narrator coveys this beautifully. I chose this as an audiobook as I wasn't sure I would be able to read the whole thing, I am now inspired to get myself a copy.
