We discuss what is often described as the First Novel in English and try to unravel what this moniker means culturally, socially, spritually and boredom-ly.
Recommendations:
Edgar Allan Poe, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (again)
Jules Verne, Around the World in 80 Days
William Shakespeare, The Tempest
Robinson Crusoe (dir. George Miller; though not really)
Castaway (dir. Robert Zemeckis)
