Summary

In "The Cruise of the 'Cachalot' Round the World After Sperm Whales," Frank Thomas Bullen embarks on a captivating maritime adventure that intricately weaves elements of personal narrative with detailed observations of the whaling industry in the late 19th century. Through a blend of vivid prose and meticulous descriptions, Bullen immerses readers in the harrowing realities of whale hunting, navigating treacherous seas, and the camaraderie among sailors. His literary style is grounded in realism, providing an authentic glimpse into the whaling trade, while also reflecting the Romanticism of the sea that pervaded the literature of his time. Frank Thomas Bullen, a seasoned sailor and author, draws from his extensive maritime experiences to craft this compelling narrative. His firsthand knowledge of the whaling industry, coupled with his background in the British Royal Navy, lends an unparalleled authenticity to his observations. Bullen's commitment to shedding light on the often brutal world of whaling reflects both his respect for the ocean and an emerging conservationist ethos that would resonate in future maritime literature. This essential read is not just a recounting of a journey; it is a poignant exploration of humanity's relationship with nature. Recommended for readers interested in maritime history, ecology, or the intrigue of adventurous storytelling, Bullen's account serves as a profound reflection on both the beauty and the peril of the natural world.

    I Was Famous on the Internet

    You are about to experience my journey of being famous on the Internet. I reached the top—millions of followers, billions of views, six-figure months, and fans in every country. From the outside, it looked like everything people chase. Inside, it felt like a prison I built. Every click and dollar cost my peace, my family, and my sanity. In I Was Famous on the Internet, I take you behind the scenes of online fame—not the filtered dream, but the raw truth of what it does to your mind and soul. I went from a broke ex-police officer to a top Udemy instructor earning millions, became an early crypto YouTuber and a Facebook Gaming partner, and burned out until I deleted everything. You will see how platforms hook creators and audiences, how algorithms reward addiction and punish authenticity, and how chasing numbers never fills the emptiness inside. You will see the trap that turns dreamers into slaves to attention, and the wake-up call that made me walk away. I reveal how screens reshaped my family, how I justified my own addiction as work, and what it felt like to realize I was no different from my kids. You will read about wild highs (a $90,000 month) and brutal lows (burnout, bankruptcy, public humiliation), and how each crash became a new beginning until I finally saw through the illusion. This book is my confession, my warning, and my gift. If you dream of going viral, being a creator, or quitting your job to chase freedom online, I want you to know what it is really like. If you spend hours scrolling, I want you to see what you are giving up. By the end, you will understand why I deleted the channels, the followers, and the income—and why that was the best decision of my life. I found peace not by becoming more successful online, but by becoming human again. Are you ready to see what Internet fame really feels like—the truth behind the dream, the cost of the clicks, and the freedom that waits when you finally log off?
