About this listen

Herman Melville’s classic masterpiece tells the story of the wandering sailor Ishmael and his voyage on the whaleship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ishmael soon learns that Ahab seeks one specific whale, Moby Dick, a white sperm whale of tremendous size and ferocity. In a previous encounter, the whale destroyed Ahab's boat and bit off his leg, and Ahab intends to take revenge. The first line—"Call me Ishmael"—is one of the most famous opening lines in American literature.

Shakespearian

This is a huge achievement. Despite its length and unashamed prolixity it is never boring.

A little disappointed.

I love the classics, but with Moby Dick I actually felt bored throughout many chapters. Great characters but with hours of outdated descriptions of the different types of whales and their oils, I had a hard time focusing, when the main story hasn't got a grasp at your neck.
