À propos de ce produit

Product Information

From the author of Mayflower, Valiant Ambition , and In the Hurricane's Eye-- the riveting bestseller tells the story of the true events that inspired Melville's Moby-Dick . Winner of the National Book Award, Nathaniel Philbrick's book is a fantastic saga of survival and adventure, steeped in the lore of whaling, with deep resonance in American literature and history. In 1820, the whaleship Essex was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale, leaving the desperate crew to drift for more than ninety days in three tiny boats. Nathaniel Philbrick uses little-known documents and vivid details about the Nantucket whaling tradition to reveal the chilling facts of this infamous maritime disaster. In the Heart of the Sea , recently adapted into a major feature film starring Chris Hemsworth, is a book for the ages.

In The Heart Of The Sea by Nat Philbrick
I was utterly enthralled from beginning to end! Philbrick seamlessly edits all the various accounts of this tragedy together into a single tale that reads like a novel. He begins by setting the scene with an authentic view of Nantucket and a whale ship being prepared for its 2 or 3 year voyage. After many months at sea and catching numerous whales, the unbelievable happens. In the middle of the South Pacific, about as far from land as one can get, an 85-foot-long bull sperm whale intentionally rams the ship--TWICE--stoving its hull in and sinking it, something never before heard of in all the annals of whaling. The 20 castaways set out on a 3,500-mile journey in 3 small whaleboats after rigging sails for them from their overturned ship's sails and building up the little boats' sides a bit ... I was utterly enthralled from beginning to end! Philbrick seamlessly edits all the various accounts of this tragedy together into a single tale that reads like a novel. He begins by setting the scene with an authentic view of Nantucket and a whale ship being prepared for its 2 or 3 year voyage. After many months at sea and catching numerous whales, the unbelievable happens. In the middle of the South Pacific, about as far from land as one can get, an 85-foot-long bull sperm whale intentionally rams the ship--TWICE--stoving its hull in and sinking it, something never before heard of in all the annals of whaling. The 20 castaways set out on a 3,500-mile journey in 3 small whaleboats after rigging sails for them from their overturned ship's sails and building up the little boats' sides a bit to give them a better chance against the sea. During their three-month odyssey, we witness these highly able seamen successfully repair one of the little boats on the high seas after a gale springs some planks in the bottom, and slowly devolve into wretched, virtually helpless, living skeletons, with nothing left but hope. A total of 8 out of the 20 ultimately survive, in an amazing feat of navigation and endurance. The hardships they endured are epic and heart-rending. The Essex story inspired Melville to write Moby Dick. I highly recommend also reading "The Loss of the Ship Essex, Sunk By A Whale" (Penguin Books) AFTER this one. It gives us First Mate Owen Chase's full first-person account, as well as the long-lost account by the ship's cabin boy, Thomas Nickerson. It also includes an account written by another mate, Thomas Chappel, plus letters and log entries from captains and others to whom the survivors, including Capt. Pollard of the Essex, told their story, and other items relating to the tragedy. Nickerson's account, in particular, offers a lot of corollary data of interest to the reader that only the eyes of a first-time seaman like this 14-year-old boy might have noticed. He includes vivid descriptions of places the ship visited while going around South America, descriptions of their shore time and of what they bought or traded in port, and information and tales about the inhabitants, the animal life, etc. It is well worth reading! But it will be most appreciated if you read "In The Heart Of The Sea" first.

A Compelling True Story
Until reading this book, I was unaware of the disaster of the Whaleship Essex, probably the most notorious disaster at sea prior to the sinking of the Titanic. The book reads like great fiction, but the author regularly provides detailed information on subjects a modern reader wouldn't know. I found it fascinating that Herman Melville, a whaleman, read the story of one of the survivors of this disaster and that it very well influenced his work on Moby Dick. This is one of those great books where, even though you know generally what will happen, it doesn't matter. The author's writing style keeps you glued to the book to find out exactly how events transpired and how they impacted those who survived. This book is one of the better nonfiction stories I've read in a while.Until reading this book, I was unaware of the disaster of the Whaleship Essex, probably the most notorious disaster at sea prior to the sinking of the Titanic.

In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick
I bought this for my husband because he wanted a copy of it. He asked me to get "that book about the whale ship Essex." Even though he's already read it, he wanted to read it again. Very well written, and very exciting... full of tidbits about early 19th century Nantucket. This is the story that inspired Moby Dick! It was also a National Book Award winner. I can't wait to get my hands on it when he's finished reading it, again.I bought this for my husband because he wanted a copy of it. He asked me to get "that book about the whale ship Essex."
