The Sea Inside

The Sea Inside

A yearlong adventure through the worldâ€™s oceans with Philip Hoare, the award-winning author of The Whale

In colorful prose and lively line drawings, Hoare sets out to rediscover the sea and its islands, birds, and beasts. Starting at his home on the shores of Britainâ€™s Southampton Water and moving in ever widening circlesâ€”like the migration patterns of whalesâ€”Hoare explores London, the Isle of Wight, the Azores, Sri Lanka, Tasmania, and New Zealand.

As Hoare brilliantly weaves together literary and natural history, we encounter memorable people as well as the dolphins, whales, and other creatures above and below the water (even one species formerly believed to â€¨be extinct).

Echoing the fine tradition of W. G. Sebald, but in a voice all Hoareâ€™s own, The Sea Inside is bursting with an endless series of delights and revelations from the ever-changing sea.
