À propos de cet audio

 From the author of In the Hurricane's Eye and Valiant Ambition, the riveting and critically acclaimed bestseller and a major motion picture starring Chris Hemsworth, directed by Ron Howard.

Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw, and Brendan Gleeson star in a film based on this National Book Award–winning account of the true events behind Moby Dick.

In 1820, the whaleship Essex was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale, leaving the desperate crew to drift for more than ninety days in three tiny boats. Nathaniel Philbrick uses little-known documents and vivid details about the Nantucket whaling tradition to reveal the chilling facts of this infamous maritime disaster. In the Heart of the Sea—and now, its epic adaptation for the screen—will forever place the Essex tragedy in the American historical canon.

The audio was perfect with no issues at all. Great story as well. The references are cited at the end of the book, rather than throughout which made it more enjoyable to listen to.

This book is very captivating and informative—all of which was essential to tell this incredible story, and because of this I needed to listen to the audiobook twice to catch details I missed the first time (and I enjoyed every second of it). I ended up watching the movie after I heard it the first time and was so disappointed because the experience of these sea men could not possibly be captured in a movie, the detail by the author was just outstanding. Definitely recommend. And would listen to it again.

I loved it so much I listened to it twice!
