About this listen

Despite being published in 1851, Moby Dick appears at number 17 in The Guardian’s ‘The 100 best novels written in English’; a testament to its continued popularity. This dramatic adaptation by Audible member favourite Marty Ross stars David Morrissey as Captain Ahab who is determined to get his revenge on the one and only Moby Dick.

We join our narrator Ishmael and the crew of Pequod for its final voyage as Captain Ahab leads them in to dangerous waters on his quest to find and kill the whale who ate his leg: Moby Dick. As his determination grows and sacrifices are made the crew worry that his obsession has become unhealthy - but at what lengths will Captain Ahab go to in order to catch that whale?

This original podcast is 15 episodes in total, please begin with “Ep 1”.

Moby Dick is a classic American novel, but its slow pace and dense prose can be a challenge for modern readers. While Melville's vivid descriptions of the sea and the whaling industry are impressive, the novel's central plot, Ahab's obsessive pursuit of the white whale, can feel repetitive. While it offers a deep dive into the human psyche and the power of obsession, the overall narrative can be frustratingly slow.

amazing rendition

I remember reading (yes I mean READING, a real, physical, paperback book) years and years ago, for a school project and I didn't remember much of the specifics. I just remembers the generals. This podcast, really brought the book to life for me, the variety of cast members was great and all of the added sound effects, made me feel like I was right there. With the salt water spraying me.

Weather you've read/listened to this book in the past, or never heard it before, I'd recommend this podcast to everyone. Especially those who haven't ever read it before, because you cant go through life with out reading/hearing Moby Dick at least ONCE,

Loved the variety of cast
