Moby-Dick is widely considered one of the greatest American novels ever written. This epic tale follows the crew of the whaling ship Pequod as they pursue an enormous white sperm whale across the oceans. It wasn't until the “Melville Revival” of the 1920s that the novel began to be recognized as a masterpiece of American literature.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
