«La baleine blanche» is Jacques Lanzmann's novel, published by R. Laffont in paperback (343 pages, in French).
The title alludes to the white whale in Moby Dick: Alex is thirteen years old and sees his father Vince in it, who disappeared in Nepal after a month-long hike. Fascinated by his father's mythical figure, Alex travels to the Himalayas with his eighty-two-year-old grandfather Léon, in an adventure about obsession, with humour and emotion.
«La baleine blanche», published in Paris in 1982, bears on its cover the subtitle «roman» and an illustration of two children walking among snowy mountains.
«La baleine blanche», with its life-affirming tone and setting, is suitable for lovers of adventure and hiking in the Himalayas.
Jacques Lanzmann was a French journalist, writer and lyricist. He is best known as a novelist and for his songwriting partnership with Jacques Dutronc.
