Leviathan


or the Whale




All his life, Philip Hoare has been obsessed by whales, from the gigantic skeletons in London′s Natural History Museum to adult encounters with the wild animals themselves. Whales have a mythical quality - the seem to elide with dark fantasies of sea-serpents and antediluvian monsters that swim in our collective unconscious.

In LEVIATHAN, Philip Hoare seeks to locate and identify this obsession. What impelled Melville to write Moby-Dick? - after his book in 1851, no one saw whales in quite the same way again.

This book is an investigation into what we know little about - dark, shadowy creatures who swim below the depths, only to surface in a spray of spume. More than the story of the whale, it is also the stories of our own obsessions
