Description

 							After reading Moby Dick, author Philip Hoare was so captivated by the subject that he spent years trying to
fathom the planet’s most enormous and enigmatic of creatures. Hoare's admitted mania for whales led him to write
Leviathan, or the Whale—which was awarded the 2009 Samuel Johnson Prize, Britain’s most prestigious award
for nonfiction. The book has finally migrated to this side of the Atlantic under a new title, The Whale. Hoare is not a
scientist, but rather a biographer whose subjects have tended toward highbrow figures like Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde.
In approaching cetaceans, the author’s non-scientific background works to great advantage. Similar to Melville,
Hoare has captured a wide range of historical and scientific facts about whales, but has chosen to present them through
an extremely powerful instrument--the literary imagination. The result is a deeply moving and thought-provoking
biography of the planet’s toughest, yet most vulnerable of prehistoric survivors. The Whale takes us well beyond
the limits of what we can see, hear or otherwise objectively "know" about whales, and offers a much more vivid sense of
their true magnitude.
  
  From Publishers Weekly
  
  A young boy's first glimpse of a whale
in captivity matures into a writer's paean to the giants of the deep in this poetic blend of nautical history, literary
allusion, personal experience, and natural science by British biographer Hoare (_Noël Coward_). With Melville as his
mentor and Ishmael as his muse, the author haunts one-time whaling town New Bedford, Mass., America's richest city in
the mid–19th century thanks to whale oil and baleen (whalebone); recreates the cramped life on board the whalers
of 200 years ago; weaves writing about whales by Emerson and Poe into his narrative; and finally revels in face-to-fin
encounters with his obsession, swimming with the whales in the Atlantic. Though Hoare rhapsodizes most about the fabled
sperm whale, the world's largest predator with a history dating back 23 million years, he also describes with succinct
precision other species—the beaked, blue, fin, humpback, and the killer whale, the sperm whale's only nonhuman
predator. This tour de force is a sensuous biography of the great mammals that range on and under Earth's oceans.
