TEXT IN FRENCH. For four to five months of each year Polynesia is filled with the song of humpback whales. After a long journey to escape the winter in Antarctic waters, humpback whales abound in the waters off Polynesia making this the scene of births, fights, spectacular romances, and captivating melodies sung by the big males. The passion, perseverance and audacity of the authors has resulted in a book that captures the splendor of this underwater saga. They offer us here a supreme photographic ode to the South Pacific humpback whale.
