Críticas
Digging deep beneath the headlines, Sullivan unfolds a complicated, politically charged story that will engage any reader concerned with the environment and indigenous peoples - Kirkus Reviews Marvellous ... both funny and generous, and at times A WHALE HUNT reads like COOL RUNNINGS meets NORTHERN EXPOSURE - Nathaniel Philbrick, New York Times Review Enthralling, fair-minded and very funny - Jonathan Raban, New York Review of Books Funny, sad, moving and very enjoyable - Manchester Evening News A WHALE HUNT ... speaks to the problem of the preservation of traditions versus the preservation of animals ... provocative and insightful, and like Melville's great novel, it makes you think. Can anyone ask for more than that? - Richard Ellis, The Times Sensitive, moving and sad - Larry McMurtry A remarkable and very readable story - Manchester Evening News I really enjoyed this book ... A Whale Hunt is a gripping story, awash with interesting ideas, and it sings with an undertow of elegiac melancholy - Sara Wheeler, Daily Telegraph
Reseña del editor
When the Makah tribe of Washington state in the USA decided they wanted to reclaim their right to hunt whales, using their traditional methods they created a storm of debate. While some held that the native culture should be preserved, others objected to anyone killing whales and set out to stop the hunt. In the centre of it all were the Makah, trying to relearn ancient hunting techniques, while acquiring new skills in order to win the PR battle. Watching on throughout was Robert Sullivan, who found echoes of the epic novel Moby-Dick in this modern adventure. He has written a brilliant account of the human story at the centre of it all - the arguments, tensions and uncertainties among the Makah and those who tried to stop them.
