Synopsis

Think Moby Dick is too long? Too serious? Too much whale?

You're not alone.

Herman Melville's Moby Dick is one of the great novels of all time. It's also one of the great tests of human endurance. Captain Ahab spends an astonishing amount of time chasing a very large white whale--and Melville spends an even more astonishing amount of time telling us everything he knows about whales, ships, sailors, ropes, oceans, and just about anything else that happens to float by.

Now there's a faster way to experience the adventure.

The Classics Slacker Reads Moby Dick is a fast-paced, humorous retelling of Melville's epic tale. You'll meet Ishmael, climb aboard the Pequod, get to know the increasingly obsessed Captain Ahab, and follow the crew toward their unforgettable encounter with Moby Dick--all without having to spend weeks wondering when the whale is finally going to show up.

This isn't an attack on the original. Quite the opposite. The Classics Slacker loves the great classics. We just think you shouldn't spend years reading one and maybe you'd enjoy some laughs along the way.

So whether you loved Moby Dick the first time around, never finished it, or have been pretending to read it since high school, come aboard.

The whale is waiting.
