Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a beautiful and rare piece of narrative non-fiction that explores the complex relationship between the rise of industrialization on the American seas and the development of human, cultural, and intellectual identity. The author takes us on a journey through the mind of a wireless sailor and an aging sea captain, using them as vehicles to tell the story of a disappearing world and a forgotten way of life. The book is notable for its poetic style and deeply evocative and visceral descriptions. Through its exploration of the unseen and forgotten, this book raises important questions about our relationship with the sea, our technological past, and the ephemeral nature of human memory and experience.
