Read by William Hootkins.
Description
Audio dramatization of what is often considered the greatest American novel.
Description
"Call me Ishmael". Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said that he wanted to write 'a mighty book about a mighty theme' and so he did -- a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier encounter. 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 in the 19th century.
William Hootkins's numerous readings for the audiobook industry include novels, best-sellers, poetry, drama, political satires, comic thrillers and short stories; as well as the original novels of Psycho and On the Waterfront. He is best known for the award-winning Paul Theroux travel books and classics of American literature. He also reads Hiawatha for Naxos AudioBooks. His films include Star Wars, Batman and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
