Download or read book Leviathan, Or, The Whale written by Philip Hoare and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2009 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 - they seem to elide with dark fantasies of sea-serpents and antediluvian monsters that swim in our collective unconscious. 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 story of our own obsessions.
