Reviewer for Unity Books Wellington John Duke reviews Albert and the Whale by Philip Hoare, published by Fourth Estate

An illuminating exploration of the intersection between life, art and the sea from the award-winning author of Leviathan, or The Whale

Albrecht Durer changed the way we saw nature through art. He showed us who we are but and also foresaw our future. His is a vision that remains startlingly powerful and seductive, even now.
