»Moby Dick« erzählt aus der Perspektive des weißen Wals.Mit »Moby Dick« ist der sagenumwobene weiße Wal als Schiffe zerstörendes Ungeheuer in die Weltliteratur eingegangen. Luis Sepúlveda lässt den Wal selbst zu Wort kommen, der seine Stimme voller Weisheit gegen die erbarmungslosen Jäger erhebt. Als Ältester der Herde war es seine Aufgabe, sich den Walfängern entgegenzustellen, um seine Schutzbefohlenen vor dem Tod zu retten.Ein starker Text, ein eindringliches Plädoyer für den Schutz der Wale und der Natur und eine erschütternde Anklage gegen die rücksichtslose Ausbeutung der Meere – für alle von 9 bis 99 Jahren.
