Sandy Winterbottom Livres

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Southern Oceans, this book intertwines the true story of Anthony Ford with the harsh realities of life on a whaling factory ship. It explores the tension between nature and human greed, highlighting the consequences of an industry that prioritized profit over life. Through vivid descriptions of wildlife and the sea, the narrative prompts readers to reflect on humanity's complex relationship with the planet's rich resources and the legacy of exploitation left in its wake.

In a time of ecological crisis, there is much to be learned from the way the whaling industry operated. This Heart of Darkness journey draws prophetic parallels to the present day climate emergency and recognises that environmental and human exploitation are deeply entwined.
