The Leviathan's Wake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An eighty-five-minute audiobook that teaches the vocabulary of Moby-Dick through the true story that inspired it. In 1820 the Nantucket whaleship Essex was rammed and sunk by a sperm whale in the emptiest water on earth. Follow cabin boy Thomas Nickerson from the oil-soaked wharves of Nantucket, through the hunt and the fire of the try-works, to the wreck, the open boats, and the book the disaster became — learning the working language of the whale fishery along the way.
