"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Riveting Storytelling Masterfully Narrated
Revisado: 06-25-20
I have about 2.5 hrs. left but I wanted to make sure to come and express my appreciation for both the rich and beautiful story but also for William Hootkins who brought the story alive with such dramatic, articulate energy seemingly allowing every character to nearly fathom their own existence and are thus reaching out through the brawny sea mist of time.

In 1932, America faced an economic crisis even more severe than the one it has been experiencing recently. The issue then, as now, was how to address it. When President Franklin Roosevelt came into office, he faced more economic problems than any president since has ever faced, but he came equipped with unique and creative solutions to them.

Retracing Family History - Neat Information
Revisado: 05-12-20
I've been led to believe that my Great-Grandpa, as well as some other members of my family, might've worked for the CC in Montana or Idaho. I purchased this book to try and get more information about what sounds like a great program for young men. As the author states at the beginning, a program of this type might be met with considerable opposition particularly in today's galvanized political climate. I think that as we recover from the coronavirus we may do well to consider these out of the box kind of ideas. It sounds like they were paying good wages, feeding them well and educating them in a time when those kinds of thing didn't come easily. Overall I enjoyed the book.
