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.

美国作家,历史研究者,著有多部畅销佳作,凭《海洋深处》一书获美国国家图书奖(2000年),另一代表作《五月花号》(Mayflower)入围2007年普利策奖决选名单。
The great discipline of Essex whalers toward months of famine made even the crazy practice of cannibalism seem reasonable to a distant observer of the tragedy.
评分"They had all seen how the man-of-war hawks robbed the tropic birds of their food. As conditions deteriorated on the boats, one could only wonder who of these nine Nantucketers, six African Americans, and five white off-islanders would become the hawks and who would become the tropic birds." (p.147)
评分看得出作者为了写这本书下了很大的功夫,各种背景知识和社会历史文化的考证引用,基本都有出处。文笔也很好,并不会让人觉得枯燥。观点也相当客观。我对当时Nantucket整个社区或者当时整个社会对获救船员的反应和对待觉得很惊奇。好书,强烈推荐(英文版)
评分这么残忍又悲惨的故事我竟然能听完,作者的写作方式功不可没,期待电影版

通过讲述捕鲸船“埃塞克斯”号的海难经历,看到了人类在极端环境下的不同选择所带来的不同后果。 很真实很震撼人心。很讽刺的是最初大船沉没是受到了猎手们长期认为脾气温驯的猎物抹香鲸的攻击。真是自作自受啊。而后经历沉船的船员们由于一些关于野蛮岛民同类相食的传言,而舍...
