À propos de cet audio

 The outcast youth Ishmael, succumbing to wanderlust during a dreary New England autumn, signs up for passage aboard a whaling ship. 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.Public Domain (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The greatest of American novels." ( Atlantic Monthly)
"[A]n intense, superbly authentic narrative. Its theme and central figure are reminiscent of Job in his search for justice and of Oedipus in his search for truth."( Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature)

The performance is great -animated and talented reader. The story is dry and long though. It took me a while to get through. Certainly more useful as a historical snapshot with a vaguely Hemingway-ish smattering of the philosophy of masculinity.

It was nice to see race acknowledged and not have it whitewashed and I liked how racial comments and views on the part of the characters which would be considered taboo today and framed as terms of endearment and fellowship.

It’s not bad. Think of it as a rite of passage.

Long and Dry

...he would have written Moby Dick. Glorious, baroque, and witty, The narration was exceptional. I will surely listen again someday.

If Shakespeare had been a whaler...

More footnotes than... I can't think of anything that has more footnotes. Textbooks have less. Long plodding story which doesn't see the white whale until the last 1:45 left in the book. It's a classic true enough but what was a great book then doesn't mean it holds up to books today. Lots of errors and misconceptions about whales that I had a hard time overlooking.

A classic but it hasn't weathered the storm

It very well may be the great American novel, it is however no matter of light reading - or in our case, listening.

I see why people like it.
