En el corazón del mar por Nathaniel Philbrick
486-1
A medida que la crónica periodística se adentra en el mar siguiendo a los infortunados, te va envolviendo una niebla sobrecogedora. Una vez allí, es imposible dejar de devorar las páginas que restan. Tan imposible, como intentar saciar la sed y el hambre durante ese maldito viaje de regreso en el Pacífico...
El 20/11/1820, el barco ballenero Essex es atacado por un cachalote mientras navega por el Pacífico. La tripulación se refugia en botes salvavidas. Es entonces cuando comienza la tragedia.....
En 1820, el ballenero Essex fue destrozado por un enorme cachalote. Los supervivientes se salvaron en tres frágiles botes, dando inicio así a una odisea en la que vivieron terribles acontecimientos... Un relato tan espeluznante como verídico.
