About this listen

 Moby-Dick, or The Whale by Herman Melville is a classic novel following Ishmael, a sailor who joins the whaling ship Pequod. The ship is captained by Ahab, an obsessive and vengeful man seeking to kill Moby Dick, a massive white whale that previously maimed him. As the voyage progresses, Ahab’s relentless pursuit leads the crew into peril. The novel explores themes of fate, obsession, and humanity’s struggle against nature. With rich symbolism, philosophical depth, and detailed depictions of whaling life, Moby-Dick is a profound meditation on existence, culminating in a tragic and unforgettable final confrontation with the whale.
