«(...) This summer, in the deep waters of the Azores, I swam with sperm whales. In the silence of their world, listening to the rhythm of their sonar clicks, feeling the scale of their social cohesion, I was more aware than ever before of the history that has passed between us. Now, as I pick up “Moby-Dick” again, prompted by Philbrick’s provocative book, I’m reminded of a salutary notion: that the whales that inspired Melville were around long before us, and may, with luck, outlive us, too.»Lido 1º aqui antes de mergulhar na New Yorker.
