IN THE HEART OF THE SEA - NATHANIEL PHILBRICK K...

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.
