Speaker 1: Hi there, This is Jordan Rich with your WZ book Club.
Speaker 1: Since before the printing press, writers have been penning tales
Speaker 1: about the oceans and the seas. When it comes to
Speaker 1: the classics, here's a list for you, starting with Hermery
Speaker 1: Melville's Moby Dick, about a man obsessed, a man who
Speaker 1: puts everyone and everything at risk in the search for
Speaker 1: his nemesis, the White Whale. Of course, there's Hemingway's The
Speaker 1: Old Man in the Sea, a simple story about an
Speaker 1: old Cuban fisherman doing battle with a giant fish, never
Speaker 1: giving in. Browning out the list, jack London's The Sea Wolf,
Speaker 1: with one of the most conflicting characters in literature at
Speaker 1: Captain Wolf Larsen, both abusive and philosophical. Finally, Mutiny, a
Speaker 1: novel of the Bounty by Irish writer John Boyne. This
Speaker 1: one involves a young boy with lieu of serving a
Speaker 1: prison sentence for pickpocketing as a chance to atone serving
Speaker 1: as a ship captain's personal valet on its voyage to Tahiti.
Speaker 1: That ship, of course, is the Bounty. The captain is
Speaker 1: William Blyg. We all know that an actual mutiny is
Speaker 1: about to ensue, and that's the book Club. WBZ, Boston's
