Audio Cassette. Four Audio Cassette Tapes in Very Good+ condition (they have been played, but show little sign of it), housed in a colorful heavy card billfold case, which shows moderate wear to the corners, and a crease to the flap, and mild rubbing to the panels (Good+), Overall, Very Good. Read by Edward Herrmann. Running Time: 6 hours. Product Size: 7.15 x 4.25 x 1 inches. Weight: 6 ounces. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Audio Cassette. Most readers now probably know that the destruction of the whaling ship Essex by a very large whale was a source for Herman Melville's great novel "Moby Dick". Without invidious comparison, it might be said that Mr. Philbrick picks up where Melville left off. He offers a fascinating and very real account -- and aftermath-- of the dramatic and dumbfounding event that actually happens at the end of Moby Dick as a masterwork of American literature. Philbrick draws from the accounts of Essex survivors and the realities of the whaling industry and its wooden ship world. It's a tough world, and Philbrick brings its details and people alive, which they once were, in a straightforward work of reportage as to what happened not only to a ship but to its people suddenly stranded in the middle of an ocean. If you've read Melville-- either recently or some time ago, as I-- you owe it to yourself to know something more of his source and to find out "how it all ends". If you read Philbrick first you may learn all you want and forego jumping into Melville's turbulent sea, with itsundercurrents of Biblical doubt, human and animal vengeance and much else. But you're more likely to sign onto Melville's fateful voyage better prepared for what might be in store for you along with Ishmael and Quee Queg in Cap'n Ahab's crew. "Heart of the Sea" is fast-moving and thorough, its narrative of real events as strange and dramatic as anything a novelist could imagine -- or make use of.Penguin Audio; (May 8, 2000)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0141802189ISBN-13: Product Dimensions: 4.1 x 1 x 7 inchesShipping Weight: 4.8 ounces.

Condition: VG in VG DJ. Photos, drawings (illustrator). The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was a mythic event in the 19th century & inspired the climatic scene in Herman Melville's Moby Dick masterpiece, to its rightful place in American history. In 1819 the 238 ton Essex set sail from Nantucket on a routine voyage for whales. 15 months later the Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale in the further reaches of the South Pacific. Its 20 man crew, fearing cannibals on the islands to the west, decided instead to sail their 3 tiny boats for the distant S. American coast. They would eventually travel over 4,500 miles. In the next 3 months they succumbed to hunger, thirst, disease and fear. These were not romantic adventurers but young working men, some teenagers, Philbrick's portrayal of the crew is a heartrending story of them trying to earn a living in the only way they knew how.

"Nathaniel Philbrick has taken one of the most horrifying stories in maritime history and turned it into a classic. Rich with detail on topics ranging from celestial navigation and whale biology to the history of cannibalism, this is historical writing at its best - and at the same time, one of the most chilling books I have ever read." - Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm. "Where the sinking of the Pequod marks the end of Melville's great novel, the sinking of the Essex is only the beginning of Philbrick's tale. It is history brought vividly - and agonizingly - to life by a master storyteller." - Richard Ellis, author. "A true story of unimaginable horror. The source for Melville's 'mighty book' is a tale told wonderfully well by Nathaniel Philbrick." - Peter Benchley, author of Jaws. "The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the Titanic disaster was in the twentieth. Nathaniel Philbrick now restores this epic story - which inspired the climactic scene in Herman Melville's Moby Dic - to its rightful place in American history. In 1819, the 238 -ton Essex set sail from Nantucket on a routine voyage for whales. Fifteen months later, the unthinkable happened: in the farthest reaches of the South Pacific, the Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale. Its twenty-man crew, fearing cannibals on the islands to the west, decided instead to sail their three tiny boats for the distant South American coast. They would eventually travel over 4,500 miles. The next three months tested just how far humans could go in their battle against the sea as, one by one, they succumbed to hunger, thirst, disease, and fear. Nathaniel Philbrick brings an incredible story to life, from the intricacies of Nantucket's whaling economy and the mechanics of sailing a square-rigger to the often mysterious behaviour of whales. But it is his portrayal of the crew of the Essex that makes this a heartrending book. These were not romantic adventurers, but young working men, some teenagers, just trying to earn a living in the only way they knew how. They were a varied lot: the ambitious first mate, Owen Chase, whose impulsive nature failed at a crucial moment, then drew him to a more dangerous course; the cabin boy, Thomas Nickerson, whose long-lost account of the ordeal, written at age seventy-one, provides new insights into the story; and Captain George Pollard, who was forced to take the most horrifying step if any of his men were to survive. This is a timeless account of the human spirit under extreme duress, but it is also a story about community, and about the kind of men and women who lived in a forbidding, remote island like Nantucket - a pioneer story that explores how we became who we are, and our peculiar blend of spiritualism and violence. It is also a tragic tale of survival against all odds. Its richness of detail, its eloquence, and its command of history make In the Heart of the Sea a vital book about America." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Signed by Author(s).
