"The diary of a whaling and sealing voyage in 1777-1778, left by Hidde Dirks Kath, is a unique testimony of the sea life of the 18th century. The book tells the dangerous and exciting adventures of an expedition that set out in search of wealth and adventure in the Arctic. An authentic account of brutal working conditions on ships, encounters with wild animals and the dangers of hunting huge marine mammals fascinates and leaves behind many questions about the nature and figure of man in the face of natural trials."
