Nathaniel Philbrick on Herman Melville

We head into the heart of the sea with award-winning historian Nathaniel Philbrick to discuss Hemingway, Melville, and where these American writers share a vision and where they part. Philbrick discusses The Old Man and the Sea and Moby-Dick as American classics that overlap and speak to each other across the years. He also covers the short story "After the Storm" as an essential narrative of Hemingway's vision of the sea. Throughout, Philbrick examines how Hemingway and Melville have become two of American literature's most enduring figures. So join us for this maritime adventure with Nathaniel Philbrick, one of America's most beloved voices.
