In 'The World at the End of the World,' Luis Sepúlveda transports us to the southern reaches of America, where a young man, inspired by Moby Dick, embarks on a whaling ship. Years later, as an adult and a member of Greenpeace, he returns to those places to investigate the predation of marine fauna by pirate ships and save Sarita, trapped in a web of dark interests. This novel is an invitation to adventure and a denunciation of barbarism against nature.
