Dan Yack

Meer over het boek

The story follows Dan Yack, an eccentric English millionaire, who, after being rejected by his lover, embarks on an impulsive Antarctic voyage with a group of artists. As they face harsh weather and pack-ice, tensions rise among the crew: a musician breaks their watches, a poet becomes lost in thought, and a sculptor creates ice statues of Dan. Amidst worries about time and loneliness, their surreal journey takes an unexpected turn with the return of the sun, leading to a bizarre series of events involving a plum pudding, whales, women, and the looming shadow of World War I.
