Dive into Herman Melville’s classic novel “Moby Dick,” the story of Captain Ahab’s hunt for revenge against the white whale who bit off his leg.
--
A mountain separating two lakes. A room papered floor to ceiling with bridal satins. The lid of an immense snuffbox. These seemingly unrelated images take us on a tour of a sperm whale’s head in Herman Melville’s "Moby Dick." Though the book features pirates, typhoons, high-speed chases, and giant squid, it’s anything but a conventional seafaring adventure. Sascha Morrell digs into the classic novel.
Lesson by Sascha Morrell, directed by Martina Meštrović.

@@TheEternalOuroboros I hugely disagree. The plot itself is not an intricate Shakespearean drama, it is a plot with one simple goal, a hunt. If you are reading it to see what happens, you are reading it wrong. That is like living your life just to see how you die, because this book is like life, where you have experiences that stand out and you draw meaning from. Some days you remember but you don't know why, yet here, Ishmael is telling you what is significant about the details. Then you have not so small details. When a character is picked up after he was left swimming adrift for a few hours: "The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely though. Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strange shapes of the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes [...] He saw God's foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad. So man's insanity is heaven's sense..." The full quote adds much more dark beauty to this scene of someone losing their mind before us. This book is all substance.

In one chapter of the book, Melville associates the behaviour of a crewman shouting on top of the mast with a “Turkish muezzin “ who calls Muslims to prayer. It is astonishing that Melville knew the difference between a “muezzin” whose duty is to call to prayer by reciting “adhan”, and an “imam” whose duty is to lead the prayer and other Islamic ceremonies. As a Turkish Muslim, I felt an instant and deep respect for him, since that distinction is not clearly known even among today’s Muslims.

Really enjoying this videos, but specially enjoying the ones with this narrator, its so engrossing and adds an air of mistery to anything he describes. Can´t wait for more of them! Maybe some day in the far future you'll be making a video about me, a hopefull writer from Colombia.

Very excellent novel. The numerous details about the adventures of Captain Ahab and Ishmael is such a masterpiece. Once you read this book it gives many complex description, which you need knowledge or just search the meanings. But some scenes were still easily imaginable. The enthusiastic attraction of Melville is pretty much Him giving all his knowledge about whales to the reader. It may sound boring but few chapters consists of extraordinary happenings that gives you this dream-like experience while scanning some concepts behind the conversations and the journeys.

This book is a perfect example of what a gripping, deep, and mesmerizing adventure novel should look like. From the very first sentence - “Call me Ishmael” - you completely surrender to his charm. A must read for anyone who considers themselves a literature lover. There's a reason it's called "The Greatest American Novel."
