Arqueólogos americanos do “America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa)” descobriram, numa cadeia de recifes de coral, a cerca de 1000 Km de Honolulu, nas águas territoriais do Hawaii, os destroços do baleeiro “The Two Brothers” que serviu de inspiração a Herman Melville para escrever o grande clássico, do séc: XIX, “Moby Dick”. O comandante do navio, George Pollard, já havia sofrido um naufrágio anterior, a bordo do “Essex”, quando este foi abalroado por uma baleia fornecendo os factos, que envolvem esses acontecimentos, para a narrativa do livro.

You know I still haven't got myself to reading Moby Dick, (even though it was an obligatory part of my English literature course at the Uni)... Have you read it, what was your impression?
Olga,
Honestly till now I've only read some passages from the book, not the entire book. I've got so many books to read now that Moby Dick doesn't stand on my top 20 priorities, although I'm planning to read it, maybe on one of my Summer holidays where there's time for this great adventures. Hugs
Yeah, but something tells me that it might not a great book for holidays... Maybe good for serious seasons ;)
