DB’s Outreach team invites you to join the quarterly virtual book club for all adults! Join us for one, two, or as many of the book discussions we offer each year – for the books that capture your interest!
Join us this Spring: Tuesday, May 6th at 8:30pm EST/ 7:30pm CST / 6:30pm MST / 5:30pm PST
Our featured book is, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick.
“In the Heart of the Sea brings to new life the incredible story of the wreck of the whaleship Essex – an event as mythic in its own century as the Titanic disaster in ours, and the inspiration for the climax of Moby-Dick. In a harrowing page-turner, Nathaniel Philbrick restores this epic story to its rightful place in American history.”
If you are interested in joining us, please email us at [email protected] and we will answer any questions and/or add you to the participant list for this book. The Zoom information for the book discussion will be sent approximately one week before our meeting.
During our discussion, you will be able to share your favorite passages or moments from the book with the group (consider marking them in your book or writing it down along with the page number).
On another note, In the Heart of the Sea was a 2015 historical adventure drama film directed and co-produced by Ron Howard. Feel free to check it out.
