In the summer of 1819, the whaleship Essex set sail from Nantucket, chasing fortune across the vast and indifferent Pacific. What began as a routine whaling voyage soon veered into a nightmare, however, when the hunted became the hunter, and the ship, until now known as one of the luckiest around, was smashed to splinters, leaving her crew adrift in an ocean without mercy. Their struggle was a descent into fear, hunger, and the raw edge of human endurance that would go on to inspire the story of Moby Dick, though much of the darker elements would be left at sea, where such stories belonged.

En nuestra tertulia de maduritos interesantes, con José Luis Garci, Andrés Aberasturi, Xosé Castro y Javier Fuentes, hablamos de cómo Lanzarote se ha transformado en un escenario de película. La isla, además de ser un destino turístico de primer nivel con playas y paisajes lunares, ha servido como plató natural para títulos como Hace un millón de años (Don Chaffey, 1966), Viaje al centro de la Tierra (Juan Piquer Simón, 1977), Mararía (Antonio Betancor, 1998), Los abrazos rotos (Pedro Almodóvar, 2009), Furia de Titanes (Louis Leterrier, 2010) y Eternals (Chloé Zhao, 2021, Marvel).No solo hablamos de las películas que fueron rodadas en Lanzarote, también nos detenemos en aquellas en las que el mar se convierte en un protagonista más. El océano ha sido escenario central de grandes títulos de la historia del cine, como La tragedia de la Bounty (Frank Lloyd, 1935), Capitanes intrépidos (Victor Fleming, 1937), Moby Dick (John Huston, 1956), Tiburón (Steven Spielberg, 1975), Titanic (James Cameron, 1997), La tormenta perfecta (Wolfgang Petersen, 2000) y muchas más.

It's that time of year…time for some big tasty turkels, delicious side dishes, and a nice tryptophan induced nod after feasting yourself into fullness and naptime. It's THANKSGIVING, and while most folks are gearing up for the coming holiday season (which will start promptly in the pre-dawn hours of Black Friday), we realize that we've NEVER taken any time off during the holidays and that perhaps it's time we enjoy a little holiday breather.

photo by Colin Outridge. The exhibition Change of Scenery, marks the painter's third solo show with the gallery. It is the culmination of a year's worth of travel across the U.S., as Brennan Hinton spent extended time in residency in Corsicana, TX, Martha's Vineyard, MA, and Fishers Island, NY. Brennan Hinton's practice focuses on the sustained act of observation, the plein-air discipline, and painting's ability to capture the essence of a place. The time spent in three distinctive towns, each in its own ways divergent from Brennan Hinton's familiar Ontario, required the artist to meet each place with open eyes and a fresh palette. To situate himself, Brennan Hinton leaned on two formative texts, Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and Moby Dick by Herman Melville, which are each set in the same landscapes in which he painted. Keiran Brennan Hinton (b. 1992, Toronto) lives and works in Toronto and Elgin, Ontario. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2014 and his MFA from Yale University in 2016. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Ogunquit Museum of Art, Ogunquit, ME and The Dennos Museum Center, Traverse City, MI. Past international solo shows of Brennan Hinton's work include exhibitions at MAKI Gallery, Tokyo, Japan (2022); Thomas Fuchs Gallery, Stuttgart, Germany (2021); Charles Moffett, New York, NY (2023, 2021); Nicholas Robert Gallery, Ontario (2022); and Francesco Pantaleone Gallery, Palermo, Italy (2019) among others. His paintings have been featured in institutional exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Ontario; James Castle House, Boise, Idaho; and Katonah Museum of Art, Westchester, NY.

The Stupid History of the novel Moby DickBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-stupid-history-minute--4965707/support.
È prevista per il 22 novembre a partire dalle, sul canale Youtube della Casa della Letteratura, una maratona di letture di 12 ore, che riunisce circa una cinquantina di voci internazionali del mondo della cultura, della letteratura e dell'accademia per leggere e pensare insieme. L'evento nasce su iniziativa della Prof. Tatiana Crivelli della Cattedra di Letteratura dell'Università di Zurigo, della Casa della Letteratura e Rete Due è media partner dell'evento. La lettura praticata come esercizio di resistenza, per pensare insieme e per cominciare, per rompere il silenzio. undefinedIl silenzio può anche essere, però, il silenzio del dolore: che sia un dolore fisico, o un dolore mentale, spesso il dolore ci ammutolisce. A volte il dolore diventa un segreto, non perché ci sia una vera intenzione a non parlarne, ma semplicemente perché è così profondo che mancano le parole.A Moby Dick, questa settimana, abbiamo scelto di ribaltare la prospettiva: non si parlerà di letteratura contro il silenzio, ma di letteratura del dolore e di medicina narrativa. Perché quando ci si trova ad affrontare un dolore e ci si scopre incapaci di parlarne, ecco che la letteratura può essere di grande aiuto, come possono essere di grande aiuto anche la compagnia e l'accompagnamento di qualcuno che ci sta vicino o che si sta occupando di noi.La parola artistica è in grado di rielaborare e interrogare idee dilemmi, categorie e preconcetti a cavallo tra il mondo medico e quello letterario? L'ascolto, il dialogo con il paziente e il racconto del sé possono diventare una pratica medica? E quando, chi soffre parla un'altra lingua e arriva da un'altra cultura, si può riuscire a curare anche con le parole? Medicina, ricerca scientifica e letteratura, si toccano e si incontrano quando il silenzio è quello del dolore?A queste e altre domande, risponderanno gli ospiti di Alessandra Bonzi: Nicolò Saverio Centemero, collaboratore scientifico della Fondazione Sasso Corbaro e autore di un podcast dal titolo “Malati di letteratura”, Guenda Bernegger, ricercatrice presso il Dipartimento economia aziendale, sanità e sociale della (SUPSI) e presidente della Società filosofica della Svizzera italiana e Linda De Luca, interprete medico e autrice di Avrai sempre la mia voce, un libro che racconta la volontà di affrontare il dolore senza la paura di uscirne feriti, ma anzi «con la certezza di trovarvi uno strumento di sensibilizzazione per la riscoperta di sé e degli altri».

20.11.1820: Ein Pottwal rammt ein Walfangschiff - der Gejagte schlägt zurück. Melville macht daraus Moby Dick. Eine Geschichte von Gier, Kannibalismus und Überleben. Von Stephan Beuting.
This is the true story of the 1821 whaleship Essex, the doomed Nantucket vessel whose catastrophic encounter with a massive sperm whale helped inspire Moby-Dick. After the Essex was rammed by the massive whale, the Essex was destroyed, leaving its crew stranded thousands of miles from land.During their harrowing struggle for survival in their open-boat journey. Some of the men would survive, but only by engaging in the "custom of the sea." The story of the whaleship Essex is one of the most haunting tales from maritime history, and was the inspiration behind Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick.**No AI was used in the production of this podcast.Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano.All episodes can be found at https://www.shipwrecksandseadogs.com.

Oh yeah, we also talk about Moby Dick for a bit. After the extended cold open, we settle into a conversation about how the support of family and friends is important to creatives, but also how their negativity can be a sign to cut ties and elevate the class of people you associate with. If you have a certain goal you want to reach, you need to be around like-minded individuals who will help you reach those goals, not hold you back.

Cos'è una lingua? Cosa significa condividere una provenienza culturale e linguistica diversa da quella prevalente dove si vive? Hannah Arendt diceva che quando tutto sembra aver perduto il suo senso, quello che alla fine resta e portiamo con noi è la lingua. Nel corso di questa puntata di Moby Dick initolata “La lingua che ci abita, la lingua che abitiamo” vogliamo provare a riflettere sulla relazione tra lingua e identità, personale ma anche di una comunità. Lo faremo partendo dall'italiano, una lingua ufficiale della Svizzera, con una protezione particolare a livello legislativo e un'attiva comunità italofona che vive al di fuori dei Cantoni del Ticino e dei Grigioni. Lo faremo con Lorenzo Tomasin, professore di Filologia romanza e di Storia della lingua italiana all'Università di Losanna, la poetessa Laura Accerboni, co-ideatrice et coordinatrice del progetto “Calvino a Scuola” nel Cantone di Ginevra, la poetessa svizzero-brasiliana Prisca Agustoni e lo scrittore Paolo Di Paolo, finalista allo Strega 2024.

Radio TRO is brought to you in part by:Twisted Road - Motorcycle Rental in the USAVisit Twisted.TRO.bike to get a FREE riding day!Robin gives a warm, drummer-to-drummer salute to Jack DeJohnette before slamming Cloudflare for breaking TRO's podcast feed. He's changing tires, tubes and all, on a '70 CB350 while considering cool SAE selector ideas (one battery tender for three bikes). Brian's battery-tender advice is met with Robin's half agreement and a bit of eye-rolling.Brian plans a winter of family road miles and rereading Moby-Dick along with Lord of the Rings. He's all cheers 'n' tears about Blackhawk Farms raceway getting a pavement makeover. Eventually he dives into the techno jargon of cylinder count.Both take aim at mushy moto-speak, mocking phrases like "hand tight" and clearing up foot-pounds versus pound-feet. Also, save your chicken strips and knee dragging for clear, actionable coaching. Let's have a sane talk about dual-sport difficulty so that we can all maintain our momentum.Episode Page: https://tro.bike/podcast/2025e29/Music by Rabid Neon and Otis McDonald

In this rich and reflective conversation, Tim Brown, Heath Hardesty, and Brian Daly answer questions from attendees and discuss the spiritual dynamics of sermon preparation. Together they explore how worship, prayer, and delight in Scripture form the heart behind preaching that reveals rather than merely informs.Tim shares how Psalm 29 inspired his allegory comparing sermon preparation to the formation and venting of a storm – a vivid picture of how preaching can humble, refresh, and awaken new vision. Brian speaks about cultivating intimacy with God so that the preacher delivers a word received in worship, not a performance shaped by pressure. Heath reflects on the joy and labour of study, reminding us that the best preaching flows from delight in the Word rather than duty alone.Drawing on imagery from Moby Dick, Heath Hardesty describes how the harpooner's stillness before the strike mirrors the preacher's call to quiet readiness before God. It's a striking reminder that the power of preaching is found not in frantic effort, but in calm, focused communion.The episode closes with encouragement to treasure the abundance of biblical tools available today, and to let the preacher's soul be shaped first by the voice of the Lord before speaking to others.OutlineThe Storm and the Voice of the LordTim Brown's Psalm 29 allegory: sermon preparation as the formation and venting of a storm.Preaching as revelation that births new desire and exposes pride.“Preaching helps people see with their ears” – Haddon Robinson.Worship and the Preacher's SoulAvoiding “drizzling” on listeners by preparing the heart in worship.Brian Daly on preaching from intimacy and dependence, not routine.Heath Hardesty on delight and labour: studying as worship.Stillness Before the StrikeThe Moby Dick metaphor: the harpooner's stillness as a model for prayerful focus.Learning to be still before God, letting Him shape the message.Tools for Deeper StudyBlue Letter Bible, Logos, The Bible Project, and E-Sword.Encouragement to explore design patterns, word studies, and accessible commentaries.Final ReflectionsThe joy of seeing the beauty of Christ in Scripture.Preaching as overflow from worship, not just output from study.Resources MentionedBlue Letter Bible – blueletterbible.orgLogos Bible Software – logos.comE-Sword – e-sword.netMoby Dick by Herman Melville – https://www.amazon.ie/Moby-Dick-Herman-Melville/dp/0198853696 Biblical Preaching by Haddon Robinson – “Preaching is the ability to make people see with their ears.” https://bakerpublishinggroup.com/products/9781540967916_biblical-preaching All Things Together by Heath Hardesty – https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/776336/all-things-together-by-heath-hardesty/Further Listening: Tim Brown: Preaching Up A Storm: https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/preaching-up-a-storm-tim-brown Tim Brown: After The Storm: https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/after-the-storm-with-tim-brown Heath Hardesty: Symphonic Preaching : https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/symphonic-preaching-bad-sermons-consistent-improvement-with-heath-hardesty Heath Hardesty: Meditation, Delight and the Full Counsel of God: https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/meditation-delight-and-the-full-counsel-of-godFor information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

Gender, race and identity collide on the open seas in Xiaolu Guo's Call Me Ishmaelle (Chatto), a powerful, feminist reimagining of Herman Melville's Moby Dick. She was in conversation with Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan: Or the Whale, who has described Guo's latest novel as being ‘as animal and visceral and shape-shifting and subversive as the broad back of the mythic whale themselves.'

If you went to high school in America, you probably read Moby-Dick — or, more likely, you skimmed the CliffsNotes and wondered why this dense, whale-obsessed novel was considered a classic.That was me in 10th grade.But earlier this year, I decided to revisit Moby-Dick in midlife, and it hit me completely differently. What once seemed like a tedious story about a guy chasing a whale revealed itself to be a profound meditation on free will, perception, self-reliance, leadership, and obsession. It's now one of my favorite novels.To help unpack why Moby-Dick endures — and why it might be worth picking up again— I'm joined by Mark Cirino, a professor of American literature. Today on the show, we discuss why Moby-Dick was initially overlooked, the novel's major themes, and the timeless mystery of Captain Ahab's monomaniacal quest.Resources Related to the PodcastMark's previous appearances on the AoM podcast:Episode #786: The Writing Life of Ernest HemingwayEpisode #922: For Whom the Bell TollsOne True PodcastThe Norton Library PodcastMark's Norton Library Edition of A Farewell to ArmsConnect With Mark CirinoMark's faculty pageSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Melville's classic is always right at the top of BEST EVER novels lists. We really dig into what is so appealing about this masterpiece: its weird structure, its likeable, unique narrator, an open-mindedness that seems pretty radical for 1851 (including some serious homoeroticism)--and, of course, the appeal of Queequeg, everyone's favorite harpooner.

“In this part of the essay, Emerson is talking about walking a lot, you know, sort of walking through nature, taking a stroll,” says James Marcus in this week's episode of The World in Time. “He has this rather sublime experience, and he describes it in this way: ‘Standing on the bare ground, my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the universal being circulate through me. I am a part or particle of God.' Now, I mean, that is lofty stuff, and it can edge over into silliness. In a way, if you picture it, it starts to be silly and that is why Christopher Cranch's cartoon is hilarious, because a literalization of it is kind of ridiculous, in a way. Part of the thing I love about Emerson is that he wasn't afraid to seem silly in his eagerness to render the experience. What he's talking about—if you get away from the actual image of an eyeball with a top hat on—is a kind of ecstatic merger with the universe, where the walls drop, the boundaries drop, the currents of the universe move through you. If you look at it that way, he's talking about a classic ecstatic experience.” This week on the podcast, Donovan Hohn speaks with writer and biographer James Marcus about his book Glad to the Brink of Fear: A Portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson's sense of self was, Marcus says, “kaleidoscopic,” and so is this episode, presenting not one Emerson but many: Emerson the public intellectual who cherished the privacy of his study, Emerson the lapsed minister who left the church but continued to preach on the lyceum circuit, Emerson the initially reluctant but eventually ardent abolitionist, Emerson the Swedenborgian mystic, Emerson the loner who deeply loved his friends Margaret Fuller and Henry Thoreau, Emerson the son estranged from his father, Emerson the father undone by grief for his dead son, and, finally, Emerson the volunteer firefighter. Marcus and Hohn also go searching for Emersonian influences in “The Mast-Head” chapter of Moby Dick. But they spend most of the conversation with the essayist from Concord, that artisan of indelible sentences, whom Melville once compared to a great philosophical whale who could dive “five miles or more,” sounding the depths.
