About this listen

In the dark depths of the bottomless sea dwells a white demon, taking shape as the Leviathan known as Moby Dick. One year ago, the malefic brute crunched off the leg of the ungodly Captain Ahab, who now swears revenge. So runs the epic tale of Moby Dick, the supernal work of Herman Melville. In this unabridged production, you will walk with the young sailor Ishmael through the fires of life on a whaling vessel. Each character is brought to life by the narration of B.J. Harrison, who also turns Melville’s sometimes over-potent expository information into an easily digestible treat.

Ridiculous, hilarious and wise

All aspects of Moby Dick are brilliant. The author's factual (if occasionally unreliable) narration of the minutiae details of the whaling industry are strangely engrossing and often amusing, the author's asides are witty and often contain a pearl of wisdom, the characters of Ahab, Quequeg, Starbuck and Stubb are brilliant in their own way, and the small percentage of the book devoted to real action is electrifying.

Epic Tale

Melville is an astounding author and the story is an awesome one; of great drama and Shakespearean intensity. Melville's knowledge and experience is broad with biblical classical and scientific references. You need to be a little patient as he can be wordy but the story is gripping, with great characterisations and stunning soliloquies. The narration of this edition is authentic and compelling and I highly recommend this experience.
