A deeply influential novel from one of America's greatest authors, White-Jacket presents a view of life aboard a 19th-century navy ship that is equal parts humorous and sobering. Published a year before his masterpiece Moby-Dick, White-Jacket is based on Herman Melville's own experiences aboard the USS United States from 1843 to 1844.

It takes you away to a life of adventure
Revisado: 04-13-22
I love Herman Melville and he loves the sea. Between Melville's love affair with the cruel mistress and the narrator's polished baritone, I was, to misquote another work, "16 hours before the mast." The material, with its highly specialized language of sailing ships and subordinate clauses, is a challenge for any reader and hence any narrator, but this guy just has a nack for taking you through those linguistic loops in a way that makes sense. I really think I got more from the listening experience, than if I had read it for myself!
