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.
