How did man learn to find the sea? Was Magellan really the first to circumnavigate the world?
How did sperm whales contribute to enlightenment? How did the Scottish baker Robert Dick change our view of the history of life? How do we really know how deep the ocean is? After the debut with "Ålevangeliet", Patrik Svensson has written a book about the people who explored, mapped, tried to understand and conquer the sea. "The Floating Man" is about the allure of the sea, about that ancient driving force that has always made people seek out the open sea. It is a book, in short, about curiosity.
