المراجعة التحريرية | Winchester unfolds this epic narrative with admirable simplicity: his prose style is conversational, and crackles with strange images. He marries even-handed scholarship with a gift for storytelling, neither dumbing down nor assuming any specific knowledge in his readership. This is from start to finish an enthralling book, and one that does justice to the magnitude of its subject' Edmund Gordon, Sunday Times 'Illuminating...a] wonderful, encyclopaedic book, pinpointing key moments in the narrative of an entire ocean and our relationship to it' Philip Hoare, Sunday Telegraph `[A] fabulous book' Scotsman `An engaging account' Mail on Sunday `[Winchester] is maddeningly gifted ... a rollicking ride' Washington Post `Enjoyable and richly informative' Telegraph |
