A path of water connects Noah, Ulysses and Ahab. A journey of search for salvation, of return, of knowledge, of struggle. Moni Ovadia crosses the Bible, the Book of Books, to walk in the verses of Homer, Dante and Cavafy until reaching that monument that is Melville’s Moby Dick. Noah, Ahab and Ulysses, these are the courageous captains, who by the will of a god, for a thirst for virtue and knowledge, for ethics and learning, for an obsession, have accomplished, for Humanity, the mad flight.
Moni Ovadia and Sergio Maifredi, after having tackled the Iliad and the Odyssey together, trace a line that connects distant heroes and books to give us back the thought of Man who crosses the centuries asking himself, on the waves of the same sea, the same questions, without expecting answers, aware that destiny is for the same reason as the journey, to travel.
