About this listen

 Have you ever read Melville? What struck you most? What drives a man to chase a white whale across the oceans — and what does that say about the human soul? In this presentation, Roger dives into the life and legacy of Herman Melville, author of Moby-Dick and one of America’s most profound literary voices. Discover how his works, once overlooked, came to define a major chapter in American literature.

This is the sixth in a series of 13 presentations that explores Hermetic American history by focusing on a diverse group of hermetic figures spanning architecture, poetry, drama, religion, esoteric philosophy, and occultism. These presentations were delivered by Roger Weir in the spring of 1982 in Los Angeles, California.
