The Penguin Book of the Ocean

The ocean has been one of the wellsprings of the human imagination for almost as long as we have existed. Its immensity, its mystery and its restlessness speak to something deep within us, something fundamental to our natures. And from this source, great literature has been formed. Here bestselling novelist James Bradley has gathered together a stunning collection of writing, from extraordinary authors both Australian and international, to show the power and the drama of the sea.
