Like Dracula, Moby Dick has multiple terrible Wordsworth covers. And if you think they’d get better with each go… you’d be wrong. #books #mobydick #wordsworth

"#Whaling was also one of the few industries where #BlackAmericans, both free and formerly #enslaved, could make money and become wealthy. Individuals of all backgrounds could rise through the whaling industry ranks based on skill rather than birth."
I'm happy to give three cheers to #MobyDick's #Daggoo, #Tashtego and #Queequeg.

Je suis embarqué dans deux lectures autour du monde, et je ne vais arriver à bon port avec aucune des deux... mais ça vaut le voyage.

Ich bin ein großer Moby Dick-Fan & mir hat diese Folge sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Und selbst wenn man das Buch noch nicht gelesen hat, kann man hier, glaube ich, gut folgen & wird auch sehr viel lachen. Z. Bsp. über sehr schlimme Puns, eine Spezialität des Podcasts. (Der eh sehr empfehlenswert ist, wenn man gerne Leuten zuhört, die witzig & informativ über Literatur reden.)
