La straordinaria avventura dell'uomo e della balena. Le rotte oceaniche e le storie di caccia. Le tempeste e le grandi baleniere... Vere e proprie sfide per la sopravvivenza. Come quella di Moby Dick, la balena bianca, e del capitano Achab, fratello di tutti i marinai che hanno condotto per secoli il piu' leggendario duello che abbia opposto l'uomo e l'animale.

Ma se nemmeno conosco la coda della balena, come potrei mai capire la sua testa?... La sua faccia?... Quando non se ne possiede show more neanche una... Potrai vedere il mio dorso, la mia coda - sembra dire - ma giammai vedrai la mia faccia. Herman Melville, Moby Dick show less
I have to admit my interest in Vikings started from the TV series of the same name . So this little book was my first introduction to facts and it has been a wow intro. I love it needless to say I am a lover of history but had really only ever stuck wit Tudors and above . Now a whole new world has opened before me . Oh so much to learn and only 24hrs in a day . Not enough I tell you.
I recommend this book to anyone as a good starting point with so much detail , hmm a lot of detail in places , show more but have to remember times were different and they lived by what they believed. Read it , really . show less
