Acerca de esta escucha
Ishmael, a sailor looking for his next adventure, and his friend who happens to be a former prince, sign up to join a whaling ship in Nantucket. The morning before they set sail on their voyage, many ominous signs of what the pair's fate may be are seen and heard through sermon and prophecy as the two friends ignore the warnings and make their way to the docks.
Soon into the trip, the one-legged Captain Ahab announces that the whaling adventure is really a hunt for one very specific large, white sperm whale that took the Captain's leg and sunk his ship. Ahab also announces a contest, a gold doubloon for the first man to spot Moby Dick, the giant whale they are seeking. The crew pursues several whales that they believe could be the infamous Moby Dick, but they continue to turn up empty handed.
The sailors carry on in search of Moby Dick, among many other ships. Surviving through typhoon seas, they chance upon a boat that has been ravaged by none other than Moby Dick. The captain of the destroyed boat tells Ahab that the whale simply cannot be killed. Nevertheless, Ahab's crew sets off after the whale and finally spot him. After a three-day whale chase, Ahab's quest for vengeance turns into a tragedy for everyone involved.

Historia
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Historia
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens’ dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire.

Historia
Herman Melville is one of the greatest figures in literary history. His classic Moby Dick is generally considered the finest novel ever written by an American. Yet in Melville’s day, Typee was a far more popular book. Largely autobiographical, this classic adventure story is set in the South Seas, where a runaway sailor is captured by the Typees. Described as “a fierce and unrelenting tribe of savages," the islanders have no intention of letting their captive go.

The Pequod sails under the command of the one-legged Captain Ahab, who has set himself on a monomaniacal quest to capture the cunning white whale that robbed him of his leg: Moby-Dick. Capturing life on the sea with robust realism, Melville details the adventures of the colorful crew aboard the ship as Ahab pursues his crusade of revenge, heedless of all cost.

"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Historia
Over a century and a half after its publication, Moby Dick still stands as an indisputable literary classic. It 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.

Historia
A sailor called Ishmael narrates the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, a white whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab’s ship and severed his leg at the knee. Although the novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author’s death in 1891, its reputation as a Great American Novel grew during the 20th century.

Historia
Reegarded by many as the greatest American novel, Herman Melville’s tale of the hunt for the white whale, Moby-Dick, is a sublime work of the imagination, an American Odyssey. It is at once an adventure story of the high seas, and an exploration of the uncharted regions of the soul.
De: Herman Melville

understandably a classic
I really struggled to finish this one. The writing is so old it's a bit hard to follow, and this particular performance could have conveyed more emotion. It felt a bit monotone at times. Finally got through it though, and I can understand how it's a classic.

White whale
This is as one would say long and drawn out. I never read it in school so I had the opt to do it. Punishment for those kids. I’m glad I did as l remembered the movie so well.

SUPERB IN EVERY WAY
Although not recommended to the impatient, lovers of literature, poetry and philosophy will be richly rewarded for their time. Additionally, they will learn an extraordinary amount about seafaring in general and whales and whaling in particular. This is a profound work about what it means to be human and it directly addresses important questions about free will and the nature of reality itself. I cannot think of an American work of fiction than can come close. Should be on everything thinking man's bucket list.

A bit challenging, but so worth it!
What made the experience of listening to Moby Dick the most enjoyable?
Masterful writing, a superb story and worldclass reading.
What other book might you compare Moby Dick to and why?
Comparable to any of the adventure classics like Jungle Book or Call of the Wild, although the writing is so brilliant I'm tempted to say it's in its own class.
Which scene was your favorite?
All scenes are masterfully rendered, which may be a challenge for the listening unused to such in-depth description. Don't give up too soon if you find it a bit challenging in the early going.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Provokes so many thoughts on the battles between good and evil and how the two are connected. From a historical perspective, it helped me respect a time and era that I hadn't ever given a second's thought.

Absolutely Amazing.
I've wanted to read this book for decades and am SO glad I LISTENED to it! I would have missed Melville's alliteration, and the magic of his writing that can only be revealed by listening to it. The reader, Philippe Duquenoy was fabulous. He read at a fast pace and was so engaging. What an experience. I highly recommend this version read by this reader.

Excellent narration.
If all you remember is the abbreviated version you read in high school the length of this may come as a surprise. Melville says in 100 words what could easily be told with but 10. Which is why I love it.

Why a Brit
I don’t understand what possessed the decision makers to choose a British voice actor to read what is arguably the quintessential great American novel. It seems you could have found an American to read this American novel.
