Moby-Dick – Herman Melville

Release Date: 09/11/2020

Description: I suspect Moby-Dick — the quintessential Great American Novel — has the curious accolade of being one of the most famous books ever, while also being one of the least read books. Its reputation greatly exceeds its appeal. Nonetheless, I had always wanted to read this extraordinary 170 year old book. And now that I… Read More »Moby-Dick – Herman Melville The post Moby-Dick – Herman Melville appeared first on Jan van den Berg.

(05) He Called Me Ishmael: A Short Story of Moby Dick and the Lone Survivor of the Pequod

Release Date: 03/29/2024

Description: Herman Melville created a legend, a life philosophy, an epic tale in Moby Dick. Unfortunately, the language of the original story is so digressive and complex, that it is difficult to finish, or even start.He Called Me Ishmael is the story of Moby Dick, using original ideas, themes and focus. It is a fully developed short story with complex characters and themes. The story begins as a young man, Ishmael (the lone survivor of Moby Dick and the ship Pequod) chases his dream of being a whale-man on a whaling ship. He soon finds himself at sea with a curious crew of misfits, a best friend cannibal and a maniacal captain (Ahab), who is hell bent and obsessed with revenge on Moby Dick, the great white whale. He soon understands that if he doesn't maintain an "outside perspective" on the chase, he may end up at the bottom of the sea along with the rest of the crew. Ishmael's beautiful bond with an unlikely friend, Queequeg, the cannibal, builds to a crescendo from their first encounter to their last. Listen as Ishmael negotiates his fears and anxieties and leans on his friend for support. This short story stays true to Herman Melville's original story. It is not a substitute for reading Moby Dick, but the average recreational reader is likely to understand more of the story by listening this book, then by attempting to pick up the weighty original.

Moby Dick - Herman Melville

Release Date: 08/26/2021

Authors: Herman Melville

Description: Few things, even in literature, can really be said to be unique — but Moby Dick is truly unlike anything written before or since. The novel is nominally about the obsessive hunt by the crazed Captain Ahab of the book’s eponymous white whale. But interspersed in that story are digressions, paradoxes, philosophical riffs on whaling and life, and a display of techniques so advanced for its time that some have referred to the 1851 Moby Dick as the first “modern” novel.View our entire collection of podcasts at www.solgood.orgThis is a Librivox Recording.

Moby Dick (Herman Melville)

Release Date: 01/06/2022

Authors: El dueño de la nada

Description: Moby Dick es una novela del escritor estadounidense Herman Melville publicada en 1851. Narra la travesía del ballenero Pequod en la obsesiva y autodestructiva persecución de una gran ballena blanca (cachalote) impulsada por el capitán Ahab.El tono de la novela, al margen de la persecución y evolución de sus personajes, es eminentemente enciclopédico, incluyendo el autor extensas y detalladas descripciones de la caza de las ballenas en el siglo XIX y multitud de otros detalles sobre la vida marinera de la época. Quizá por ello la novela no tuvo ningún éxito comercial en su primera publicación, aunque con posterioridad haya servido para cimentar la reputación del autor y situarlo entre los mejores escritores estadounidenses. La frase inicial del narrador «Call me Ishmael» en inglés, traducido al español a veces como «Llamadme Ismael», otras veces como «Pueden ustedes llamarme Ismael»,se ha convertido en una de las citas más conocidas de la literatura en lengua inglesa.

Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Release Date: 08/20/2020

Authors: Loyal Books

Description: “Call me Ishmael” is one of the most famous opening lines in American literature. With these words, opens one of the strangest and most gripping stories ever written about the sea and sea-faring. Moby Dick by Herman Melville is today considered one of the greatest novels written in America but paradoxically, it was a miserable failure when it first made its debut in 1851. Entitled Moby Dick or The Whale the book finally got its due after the author's death and is now regarded as a classic portrayal of mania and fatal obsession.The narrator, Ishmael, travels to New Bedford, Massachusetts, to find a place on a whaling ship. He lodges at a seedy inn where he is forced to share a room with a strange old character, Queequeg, who was a harpooner. Despite his initial revulsion of Queequeg, Ishmael decides to join him in looking for work together. They reach Nantucket, the traditional center of whaling, where they find a berth on the Pequod, a bizarre vessel adorned with the skeletons and te

Description: «Llamadme Ismael.» Muy pocos personajes literarios hay hoy tan conocidos como la ballena blanca, o Ismael o el capitán Ajab, y probablemente no haya un inici o de novela tan famoso como el de Moby-Dick.
