The New York Times best-selling writer of seagoing epics now celebrates an American basic.Moby-Dick is perhaps the greatest of the fantastic American Books, yet its duration and esoteric subject material create an aura of difficulty that too often keeps readers at bay. Luckily for us, one unabashed admirer wants passionately to give Melville's masterpiece the wide contemporary audience it deserves. In his Country wide Book Prize- earning best seller, In the Center of the Sea, Nathaniel Philbrick captivatingly unpacked the storyplot of the wreck of the whaleship Essex, the real-life incident that inspired Melville to write Moby- Dick. Now, he places his places on the fiction itself, supplying a cabin master's travel of an spellbinding novel rich with excitement and history. Philbrick skillfully navigates Melville's world and illuminates the book's laughter and remarkable characters-finding the thread that binds Ishmael and Ahab to your own time and, indeed, to all times. An ideal match between creator and subject matter, Why Read Moby-Dick? provides us a renewed gratitude of both Melville and the happy seaman's town of Nantucket that Philbrick himself message or calls home. Like Alain de Botton's How Proust Can Change Your Life, this remarkable little book begins conversations, inspire arguments, and, best of all, bring a new wave of viewers to a classic tale longing to be uncovered anew.
