Sounding the Whale: Moby-Dick as Epic Novel
ISBN: 9780873385602 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Sounding the Whale is Christopher Sten's comprehensive account of his own close encounter with Moby-Dick.

In The Weaver-God, He Weaves, Christopher Sten sets out to correct this widespread view, showing not only what Melville knew about the novelist's craft but how he appropriated and transformed a whole series of distinct genres: Typee is presented in the context of the popular romance, with its paired themes of sex and violence; Omoo is viewed in the framework of early Spanish and later French examples of the picaresque novel; and...
