Nathaniel Philbrick uses little-known documents and vivid details about the Nantucket whaling tradition to reveal the chilling facts of this infamous maritime disaster. In the Heart of the Sea, recently adapted into a major feature film starring Chris Hemsworth, is a book for the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin, 2001","offers":[{"title":"In the Heart of the Sea The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex (National Book Award Winner) \/ Very Good","offer_id":51258024821028,"sku":"9780141001821VG","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_e1570bd8-7b07-4491-9cdd-9152254049de.jpg?v=1781791613","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780141001821","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
