  16. En el invierno de 1820, el ballenero de Nueva Inglaterra Essex fue agredido por algo a lo que nadie podía dar crédito: una ballena de tamaño y voluntad descomunal, con un sentido de la venganza casi humano. Este hecho real que supuso un desastre marítimo fue la inspiración para Moby-Dick de Melville. Pero la novela solo contó la mitad de la historia. “En el corazón del mar” revela las horribles consecuencias del encuentro, cuando los supervivientes de la tripulación fueron forzados hasta el límite y se vieron obligados a hacer lo impensable para mantenerse vivos. Enfrentándose a las tormentas, el hambre, el pánico, y la desesperación, los hombres llegan a dudar hasta de sus creencias más profundas, desde el valor de sus vidas a la moralidad de su oficio, mientras el capitán intenta orientarse en el mar abierto y su primer oficial sigue empeñado en conquistar a la gran ballena.
