Acerca de esta escucha
Three stories in one collection
Are you ready to be engulfed in a world in which man battles with deep emotions of vengeance, the pressures of society, and passive resistance? Herman Melville’s descriptive style of storytelling captivates and thrills listeners as he deftly reveals the undertones and themes of racial conflict, truth, and social injustice.
Story 1: Moby Dick
Revenge turns into an obsessive quest when a seafaring captain, Ahab, seeks out the elusive giant white sperm whale known to sailors on the high seas as Moby Dick. Sometimes referred to as the "greatest book of the sea ever written", this classic of the American Renaissance era is among the world’s most endeared stories. Ishmael, a bold, adventurous sailor tells this prophetic tale of vengeance, warring perceptions of the world, and the search for truth amid racial conflict.
Story 2: "Bartleby the Scrivener"
As a short story, the narrator, a lawyer in a Wall Street firm, is intrigued and enthralled by Bartleby’s strange character and refusal to perform his assigned tasks. Through his passive resistance, the scrivener enlightens the listener by seemingly poking fun at the rising importance of money and economic control of the time. As the story thoughtfully unfolds, the listener is drawn in by the great detail by which each character and scene are described.
Story 3: Sailor Billy Budd
Named as the ring leader of a rumored mutiny, Billy Budd, a handsome, young, naïve sailor, has peacefully resigned himself to his fate. Yet before his fate is sealed, Billy earns the status as a legend among sailors for his selfless compliance to authority. Described as intellectually and emotionally limited, his character will capture the listener's heart with his good-natured attitude.

"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.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Labeled variously a realistic story of whaling, a romance of unusual adventure and eccentric characters, a symbolic allegory, and a drama of heroic conflict, Moby Dick is first and foremost a great story. It has both the humor and poignancy of a simple sea ballad, as well as the depth and universality of a grand odyssey.

"It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it." So Melville wrote of his masterpiece, one of the greatest works of imagination in literary history. In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopaedia of whaling lore and legend, the book can be seen as part of its author's lifelong meditation on America.

Captain Thuridur, born in Iceland in 1777, lived a life that was both controversial and unconventional. Her first time fishing, on the open unprotected rowboats of her time, was at age eleven. Soon after, she audaciously began wearing trousers. She later became an acclaimed fishing captain brilliant at weather-reading and seacraft and consistently brought in the largest catches. In the Arctic seas where drownings occurred with terrifying regularity, she never lost a single crewmember. Author Margaret Willson reveals Captain Thuridur's fascinating story.

Ishmael, the narrator, tells of the adventures of Captain Ahab in his relentless quest to seek revenge on the white whale that bit off his leg. Full of allegory and symbolism, Moby Dick is an epic tragedy of tremendous dramatic power and narrative drive. This large-scale adaptation, recorded in America, skilfully reproduces the unique mixture of adventure, myth, history, and philosophy in Melville's epic tale.

Timeless Relevance!!
I never realized how much these stories, written so long ago and thought to be just classical books, have such relevance for society today. Herman Melville was ahead of his time. I laughed, I cried. Although I had read Moby Dick when I was young, I did not fully understand its meaning. I will be sure to include this and all Melville books as a timeless classic on my bookshelf to be read again and again. Every generation should be encouraged to read Melville for his wisdom and humor.

wonderful
I love these package deals. Three stories in one. I was searching for Moby Dick and came across this Herman Melville collection. I admit I was equally impressed with Bartleby the Scrivener and Sailor Billy Budd. I read Moby Dick years ago when I was in high school and wanted to share the story with my wife who had never read it/listened to it. She absolutely loved all three stories. The production quality was excellent on this. 10/10 would recommend.

What a treasure.
Moby Dick is my all-time favorite. Herman Melville’s ability to portray racial conflict, truth, and the societies’ on-going struggles in words is breathtaking. This Great American novel, which details the adventures of sailor Ishmael, was way ahead of its time.
Overall, this collection offers the best classics of Herman Melville all in one. The performance of these classics is suburb and well worth listening to the audio sample. Highly recommend 10/10!
