A voice emerges from a shell collected on a beach in southern Chile: that of a white sperm whale who guards the waters of an island sacred to the Sea People. Bound by a pact between whales and sailors, he protects that sea from whalers who come to exploit it without respect while carrying out a mysterious task entrusted to him by an old sperm whale.
This Italian edition was published in 2018, with translation by Ilide Carmignani and illustrations by Simona Mulazzani. The original Spanish title is «Historia de una ballena blanca».
A fable intended for young people and adults, especially for those seeking sea stories and ecological tales about respect for nature.
