Summary
Its famous opening line, 'Call me Ishmael,' dramatic in its stark simplicity, begins an epic that is widely regarded as the greatest novel ever written by an American. 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. When Melville's father died in 1832, the young man's financial security went too. For a while he turned to school-mastering and clerking, but failed to make a sustainable income. In 1840 he signed up on the whaler, Acushnet, out of New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was just 21. A whaler's life turned out to be both arduous and dangerous, and in 1842, Melville deserted ship. Out of this experience and a wealth of printed sources, Melville crafted his masterpiece.

Nerrator is excellent. Book has some audio issues, skips at some of the most intense parts.

Frank Muller is a virtuoso of narration as per usual, there is no one that comes close to even touching the level of inflection, nor independent voice nuance. I would give a pound of flesh to be able to listen to Frank's work's tis if it was the first time I had truly heard virtuosity.
