About this listen

"The Whale" (or "Moby Dick" as it is more commonly-known today) is the unforgettable story of Captain Ahab’s quest to avenge the whale that ‘reaped’ his leg.

The quest and the novel is a story of how man can become blindly obsessed.

The tale is also a testament to democracy and liberation, as the ship's crew work together for a common end.

Ishmael, the novel’s narrator is a young, ordinary sailor learning the practice of whaling.

Moby Dick is one of the greatest novels ever written and a timeless classic.
