Moby Dick

by Hermann Melville

Read by William Hootkins

UNABRIDGED

‘Call me Ishmael’

Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write ‘a mighty book about a mighty theme’ and so he did. It is a story of one man’s obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of the Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

This epic story, here presented in unabridged form, receives an equally epic reading from the outstanding American actor William Hootkins.
