After the great success of the Tales of the Wise Guardians of the Earth , this new volume of Guardians of the Sea constitutes a sort of poetic manifesto that plunges us into the imagination of popular wisdom, from the Channel to the Atlantic, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the waters of the Pacific to the Sea of Japan... An initiatory journey alongside marine animals, legendary heroes and simple fishermen. We meet Princess Otohime of Japan, the Old Man of the Tartar Sea, indomitable pirates, druids, bards and other sirens. At the heart of this "marine gallery", the stories summon the people of the oceans, from dolphins, faithful companions of men, to whales offering their dreams and their breath to the world.
In this era of "ecological storm", the authors call upon their talent as storytellers, echoing popular traditions, to contribute to the awakening of consciences, and to safeguard this world-source that are the seas, nourishing mothers, joyful, sometimes terrifying, rich in universal legends which shape our imaginations, and of which each drop irrigates our blue planet.
