CATEGORY: audio drama TITLE: Moby-Dick oder Der Wal AUTHOR: Herman Melville TRANSLATION: Matthias Jendis ADAPTION: Klaus Buhlert DIRECTOR: Klaus Buhlert MUSIC: Klaus Buhlert PRODUCTION: Bayrischer Rundfunk YEAR: 2005 RECORDING DATE: 2005-12-03 (Deutschlandfunk) DESCRIPTION: Kapitän Ahab auf der Jagd nach dem weißen Wal - ein tragisches Urbild, ein Epos von übermenschlichen Ausmaßen. Der Held aber ist kein strahlender Ritter oder König, sondern ein armer, alter, skrupelloser Walfänger. Mit seinem Roman 'Moby-Dick' - erschienen 1851 - wagte es Herman Melville, Amerika zum Stoff eines großen Epos zu machen, das den europäischen Vorbildern ebenbürtig sein sollte. Die Motive sind eindrucksvoll: der Wal als mythisches Tier, das Meer als unerbittlicher Schauplatz und die Jagd als heroische Aufgabe. Ismael, Melvilles Erzähler und einziger Überlebender des tragischen Geschehens, macht sich dennoch nichts vor: "Oh Ahab! Was groß an dir sein soll, muß man aus den Himmeln pflücken

Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
