“Unstable and amusing and useful and original, cavorting between biology, history, travel writing, and memoir.”—Draw Kurlansky
The Whale by Philip Hoare is a enthralling and eye-opening literary leviathan going swimming in similar bestselling waters as Cod and The Secret Life of Lobsters. Victor of the BBC Samuel Johnson Award for Nonfiction, The Whale is a energetic travelogue through the history, literature, and lore of the king of the sea—the remarkable mammals that we human beings have long been fascinated with, from Moby Dick to Free Willy. Bestselling author and naturalist Bernd Heinrich telephone calls it, “a moving and incredible publication,” and Hoare’s sparkling account of going swimming with these extraordinary behemoths will please whale and wildlife aficionados, lovers of the sea and sea tales, as well as the socially and environmentally mindful reader.
