<v Speaker 1>Hi there, This is Jordan Rich with your WZ book Club.

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Since before the printing press, writers have been penning tales

3
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.439
<v Speaker 1>about the oceans and the seas. When it comes to

4
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the classics, here's a list for you, starting with Hermery

5
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Melville's Moby Dick, about a man obsessed, a man who

6
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>puts everyone and everything at risk in the search for

7
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>his nemesis, the White Whale. Of course, there's Hemingway's The

8
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Old Man in the Sea, a simple story about an

9
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>old Cuban fisherman doing battle with a giant fish, never

10
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>giving in. Browning out the list, jack London's The Sea Wolf,

11
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>with one of the most conflicting characters in literature at

12
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Captain Wolf Larsen, both abusive and philosophical. Finally, Mutiny, a

13
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>novel of the Bounty by Irish writer John Boyne. This

14
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>one involves a young boy with lieu of serving a

15
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>prison sentence for pickpocketing as a chance to atone serving

16
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>as a ship captain's personal valet on its voyage to Tahiti.

17
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>That ship, of course, is the Bounty. The captain is

18
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 1>William Blyg. We all know that an actual mutiny is

19
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>about to ensue, and that's the book Club. WBZ, Boston's
