Synopsis

Set against the vastness of the ocean, this novel follows an unrelenting pursuit that tests the boundary between humanity and the natural world. The narrative is framed as a maritime adventure, while also turning to psychological and philosophical questions that surface under pressure.

With symbolism and poetic prose, it evokes the beauty and danger of the sea and looks back to the great age of Yankee whaling. A considered choice for readers drawn to classic fiction with a strong nature and wildlife focus.
