This album is based on the novel “Moby Dick or The Whale” by Herman Melville.
Published in 1851, the book became one of the most important novels of American literature.
The story is open to many interpretations. It reads as a thrilling sea story or an examination of the conflict between man and nature.
Depending on the perspective and the changing political atmosphere, Captain Ahab appears as a Promethean hero or a forefather of twentieth-century totalitarian dictators.

Based on the Novel “The Catastrophist” by Ronan Bennett. A haunting novel set in the politically charged landscape of the Belgian Congo just before independence. Short-listed for the Whitbread Novel Award!
At its heart is the passion between novelist James Gillespie and the fiery, idealistic journalist Ines, whom he follows to Africa as their affair begins to fray. They are as unlike as lovers can be; he is willfully apolitical and desperate for her love, while she is obsessed with the unfolding drama, caught up in history, hero-worship, and soon, a new passion.
In a country that will self-destruct upon giving birth to itself, Gillespie is plunged into violence and betrayal and, moved by love, drawn into a final act of nobility.
