Sobre este artículo
uk: Harper Perennial, 2005. Book. Very Good. Paperback. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The sinking of the Nantuket whaleship Essex in 1820 set into motion one of the most dramatic sea stories of all time. The author weaves together various first-hand accounts of the tale, including a newly discovered diary of one of the survivors. A good tight copy. .
Sinopsis
The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819, the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with twenty crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than ninety days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, disease, and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival. Nathaniel Philbrick uses little-known documents-including a long-lost account written by the ship's cabin boy-and penetrating details about whaling and the Nantucket community to reveal the chilling events surrounding this epic maritime disaster. An intense and mesmerizing read, In the Heart of the Sea is a monumental work of history forever placing the Essex tragedy in the American historical canon.

The use of time to show the tragedy offers a far better story to the reader than any action would.
