Thanks, looks like a book I would enjoy, I'll read it now.
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoYeah, a few people have mentioned these as low points. But I really liked them. Reminds me of some of the stuff I enjoy in Umberto Eco's historical novels where he dives deep into some historical worldview, often one we now know is wrong, though I think in this case Melville was relating the current state of the art of his age, but both do so quite poetically. Some of the cod-Shakespearean bits were a bit more of a drag for me. Something for everyone maybe.
