Finn, your Starvard guide

Bonjour, je m'appelle Finn et je vais t'aider à comprendre ce livre.

Le voici, expliqué comme si tu avais 10 ans :

Le Captain Ahab a perdu sa jambe à cause d'une baleine blanche géante, et maintenant il est prêt à naviguer n'importe où et à risquer la vie de tout son équipage pour la tuer. L'équipage chasse les baleines pour leur huile, mais Ahab chasse pour se venger, et une seule de ces deux chasses peut bien finir. Le marin qui raconte l'histoire, Ishmael, est celui qui survit pour expliquer ce que coûte une obsession.

À propos de Finn >
