Beschreibung

<b><b>From the author of <i>Mayflower, Valiant Ambition</i>, <b>and <i>In the Hurricane's Eye--</i></b>the riveting bestseller tells the story of the true events that inspired Melville's <i>Moby-Dick</i>. <br><br> 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. <br><br> In 1820, the whaleship <i>Essex </i>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. <i>In the Heart of the Sea</i>, recently adapted into a major feature film starring Chris Hemsworth, is a book for the ages.</b></b>
