Book Description
Excerpt from Half-Hours With the Best Foreign Authors, Vol. 3 The literature of France - to which the present volume is devoted - forms a subject of great interest, both bistori cally and critically, and some preliminary discussion of it seems indispensable as introductory to our selections. It was the first to emerge from the gloom of the dark ages, to arouse the sleeping thought of Europe, and to fill the neigh boring nations with the spirit of lyric and epic poetry. And it has been persistent from that time to this, with none of the dormant intervals which have marked the literatures of Germany, Spain, and Italy, and to a minor extent that of England. Its historical details are, there fore, of great importance, but in this introductory note we can give them only in brief outline.

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
A “brilliant and provocative” (The New Yorker) celebration of Melville’s masterpiece—from the bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea, Valiant Ambition, and In the Hurricane's Eye One of the greatest American novels finds its perfect contemporary champion in Why Read Moby-Dick?, Nathaniel Philbrick’s enlightening and entertaining tour through Melville’s classic. As he did in his National Book Award–winning bestseller In the Heart of the Sea, Philbrick brings a sailor’s eye and an adventurer’s passion to unfolding the story behind an epic American journey. He skillfully navigates Melville’s world and illuminates the book’s humor and unforgettable characters—finding the thread that binds Ishmael and Ahab to our own time and, indeed, to all times. An ideal match between author and subject, Why Read Moby-Dick? will start conversations, inspire arguments, and make a powerful case that this classic tale waits to be discovered anew. “Gracefully written [with an] infectious enthusiasm…”—New York Times Book Review
