Abitante degli abissi, gigante che scivola silenzioso tra le immensit&agrave; oceaniche, espressione della ferocia pi&ugrave; inconsapevole, capace di inghiottire senza accorgersene navi e profeti, marinai e burattini, la balena &ndash; come oggi siamo soliti chiamare questa creatura &ndash; sin dall&rsquo;alba dei tempi ha nuotato nelle nostre fantasie terrorizzandoci e affascinandoci come bambini.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In queste pagine <em>Philip Hoare<\/em> insegue il <strong>misto di desiderio e avventura che questi grandi cetacei hanno incarnato nella storia e nella letteratura<\/strong> per andare a caccia di qualcosa di ancora pi&ugrave; vasto del loro corpo sterminato: il loro mito. Saltando dal ricordo personale di un&rsquo;immersione subacquea allo scheletro sul soffitto del Natural History Museum di Londra, dal porto commerciale di New Bedford a quello letterario di Nantucket, <strong><em>Hoare<\/em> attraversa come un fl&acirc;neur acquatico la scienza e la cultura, le incisioni e i fumetti, i reportage di viaggio e i romanzi per comprendere le ragioni profonde di un&rsquo;ossessione che ha accomunato marinai, biologi e scrittori<\/strong>. Guidati dalla sua prosa veniamo cos&igrave; trasportati dai tempi in cui le balene erano &laquo;fabbriche di strane sostanze e umane fortune&raquo;, usate per costruire corde di racchette, corsetti per signore e tasti di pianoforte, a un presente in cui sono minacciate dall&#8217;estinzione; dall&rsquo;epoca in cui il loro olio era simbolo di ricchezza e potere a quella in cui le loro silhouette campeggiano sulle insegne delle friggitorie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Leviatano <\/em>&egrave; un&rsquo;opera che sfida in ambizione l&rsquo;enormit&agrave; del suo oggetto, muovendosi al di l&agrave; di ogni confine saggistico e narrativo per cercare di raccontare un animale inesauribile e meraviglioso: il folle tentativo umano di trattenere la sua sconvolgente bianchezza con l&rsquo;inchiostro di cui sono fatte le parole.<\/p>\n<p>Edizione: 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"sottotitolo\"><span>Subtitle: <\/span>o la balena<\/p>\n<p class=\"autore\"><span>Author: <\/span>philip ohare<\/p>\n<p class=\"editore\"><span>Publisher: <\/span>il saggiatore<\/p>\n<p class=\"isbn\"><span>ISBN: <\/span>9788842830368<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":151743,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2999,2622],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-151745","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-essays-narrative-and-essays","7":"product_cat-marine-mammals","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
