## Description

Moby-Dick Big Read is an innovative initiative that breathes new life into Herman Melville's classic novel, Moby-Dick, regarded as the great American yet frequently unread literary masterpiece. This unique project features all 135 chapters of the book, narrated by a diverse array of voices, from famous personalities to everyday individuals, making the text accessible to a contemporary audience. Launched in 2011 by artist Angela Cockayne and writer Philip Hoare, Moby-Dick Big Read emerged from a whale symposium exploring the novel's profound themes, including humanity's complex relationship with nature and existential ambition. It serves as a digital platform for interpretation and engagement, allowing listeners to explore Melville's work as both a timeless narrative and a potent critique of power and belief. Available for free online, the Moby-Dick Big Read is a not-for-profit venture, inviting everyone to experience this literary giant in a modern format, ensuring Melville’s insights continue to resonate today.
