Dive into Herman Melvilles classic novel Moby Dick, the story of Captain Ahabs hunt for revenge against the white whale who bit off his leg. --A mountain separating two lakes. A room papered floor to ceiling with bridal satins. The lid of an immense snuffbox. These seemingly unrelated images take us on a tour of a sperm whales head in Herman Melvilles "Moby Dick." Though the book features pirates, typhoons, high-speed chases, and giant squid, its anything but a conventional seafaring adventure. Sascha Morrell digs into the classic novel.Lesson by Sascha Morrell, directed by Martina Metrovi.Animator's website: https://vimeo.com/martinamestrovicSign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-should-you-read-moby-dick-sascha-morrellThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
