Book Talk: Moby Dick by Herman Melville; memories of reading it in high school, further thoughts now

Описание: Be sure to find my books on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/... In this video we're discussing "Moby Dick", the 19th-century Victorian novel by Herman Melville about whaling and Captain Ahab's hunt for the white whale. I share a few high school memories from the first time I read this book (like most American high schoolers at the time I read it for a class) and we share further thoughts on the novel after a more mature re-read of the work. Our calico cats join us for the discussion. Background visuals in this video include footage of us (from a few years ago) at the coast of Washington state on the Olympic Peninsula, and at the Oregon Coast near Astoria. — Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman
