About this audiobook
Stephen Melillo unveils a mesmerizing narrative that takes you beyond the pages of Melville's classic masterpiece, "Moby Dick." Who was Captain Ahab before he became consumed by his relentless pursuit of the white whale? What passions stirred in his heart? What trials sculpted his soul into the iconic figure we think we know?
Beneath the surface of Ahab's obsession lies a heart that once beat for life's grandeur. Melillo masterfully weaves a tale that blends historical accuracy with a touch of the imagined, drawing you into a world where Ahab lived, loved, and breathed. The meticulous research is evident as every ship's name, every astrological event, and every geographical detail aligns seamlessly with reality, immersing you in a world that could well have existed.
At the heart of it all is young Ahab, a captivating fictional creation brought to life against the backdrop of authentic history. As the narrative unfolds, the line between fact and fiction blurs, leaving you to ponder whether the tale of young Ahab might be more real than you ever dared to believe. Melillo introduces us to Abie & Abbie, characters so vivid and tangible that a sequel to the beloved classic has also been composed, entitled, “Death to Moby Dick, a Love Story”.
"Ahab, a Love Story" is a journey through time and emotion, a symphony of words that resonates with the essence of life's intricate beauty. The Audio version, told by the author, is also poignantly scored with original Music.
Prepare to be captivated, moved, and transported to a realm where the known merges with the unknown. Set sail on this literary odyssey, and may your heart find its own answers amidst the waves of Ahab's poignant tale.
Enjoy the voyage and Godspeed! Isaac, for Stephen Melillo, Composer
