Amy and Matt are bored. They don't want to study for their exams. They want to have a good time. So they drive to the marina at West Palm Beach, and Matt jumps onto one of the boats.

Matt is a good swimmer and enjoys scuba-diving, but now he must dive for their lives.
Moby Dick (1851), le chef-d'oeuvre de Melville, est l'histoire d'une obsession : depuis qu'un féroce cachalot a emporté la jambe du capitaine Achab, celui-ci le poursuit sans relâche de sa haine. Ismaël, matelot embarqué à bord du baleinier le Péquod, se trouve pris peu à peu dans le tourbillon de cette folle vengeance : c'est par sa voix que se fera entendre l'affrontement final de l'homme et du grand Léviathan blanc. Somme encyclopédique érigeant la baleine en un véritable mythe, récit hanté par l'énigme du bien et du mal, Moby Dick nous fait naviguer sur des mers interdites et accoster sur des rivages inhumains. Jamais on n'épuisera la science des baleines, suggère Melville. Jamais non plus on ne viendra à bout de la fascination qu'inspire ce roman sombre et puissant.
A story of espionage and counter-espionage, and anarchists and embassies.
