About the book
Nathaniel Philbrick reconstructs the dramatic 1820 wreck of the whaleship Essex, when a sperm whale intentionally rammed the vessel, leaving the crew adrift in the Pacific Ocean. A narrative of survival, desperation, and rescue that explores themes of human courage, wild nature, and the limits of the possible—which inspired the novel Moby Dick.
