About This Book

Kokoelma meriseikkailuja kuvaa valaanpyyntimatkojen jännitystä ja laivamiesten arkea. Tarinat seuraavat purjehdusta päiväntasaajan ympäristössä, pitkää odotusta, valaiden havaitsemista, veneiden lähtöä ja harpuuniniskuja sekä saaliiden hinaamista, samalla kun kuvataan työn tekemistä, väsyneisyyttä, vaaroja ja merimiesten toveruutta. Mukana on myös kertomuksia kohtaamisista valtameren jättiläisten kanssa ja meren kouriintuntuvasta vaikutuksesta ihmisten kohtaloihin.
