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.

A bit challenging, but so worth it!
Revisado: 01-04-18
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.
