Das Buch vom Meer oder Wie zwei Freunde im Schlauchboot ausziehen, um im Nordmeer einen Eishai zu

Two friends fulfill a dream: they want to catch a Greenland shark from the depths of the North Atlantic, that legendary creature that rarely surfaces. While they wait, Morten A. Strøksnes shares stories of real and imagined beings, of jellyfish species with three hundred stomachs, of sea cucumbers and anglerfish. He tells of brave polar explorers, whalers, and cartographers, and of course, the harsh life along Arctic shores, of the skrei that has ensured survival for generations in the Lofoten Islands, of the color and sound of the sea. A salty adventure story about the joy of defying the forces of nature – and a breathtaking book that leaves us in awe of the unfathomable mysteries of the ocean.
