The Good Leviathan

The Good Leviathan

Pierre Boulle
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
A monster sails the seas, carrying the threat of atomic catastrophe on the one hand and of a potential oil slick in the other. This is how a group of worried ecologists perceives the nuclear powered giant oil tanker Gargantua, which they soon nickname Leviathan. But in the end,this evil creature comes out to be a double blessing : first because of the unexpected virtues of atomic desintagretion, and secondly because of the unpredictable carateristic of the slimy poison it holds in its side.

"May the humble and sincere ecologists forgive me! This book only criticisizes those who follow trends in a preposterous and blind way, and who above all else, are unable to conceptualize the
possible relativity of good and evil. It is this same notion of relativity I have tried to illustrate in most of my novels and novellas. I became aware of it just recently."
