Moby Dick

Summary

Moby Dick, by Herman Melville, was first published in 1851. Known for its famous opening line, "Call me Ishmael," and for its epic narrative, complex characters, and rich symbolism, it is considered one of the greatest works of American literature. The novel tells the story of a sailor named Ishmael who joins a whaling ship, the Pequod, under the command of the fierce Captain Ahab, who is obsessed with hunting and killing a great white whale known as Moby Dick. The story is a thrilling adventure, but it is also a deep exploration of themes such as obsession, madness, and the relationship between humankind and nature. This full unabridged audio edition is expertly narrated by an Earphones Award-winning voice actor with over 350 credits.
