About this listen

"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.

A great read and marvellously narrated, albeit on a unpalatable subject that does go into great detail on the slaughter of the poor whales. . .

Marvellous classic

Very Well narrated... Beautifully paced.. Gripping story although the author punctuates the action with some peculiarly long passages of description about whales!

Long! But worth it in the end :)

Loved this audio book - a novel I’d wanted to read for a long time. The narrator was outstanding bringing particularly Ahab to life but also the many other characters.

Superb story - brilliantly told!
