In June 1944, Malcolm Lowry managed to save the pages of what would become his most famous novel, 'Under the Volcano'. 'Heading for the White Sea', the manuscript of a novel he worked tirelessly on, was thought to have been lost in the same fire, but has now been discovered. 'Rumbo al Mar Blanco' is an imposing work in which the writer fights against his demons and his own ideological uncertainties while offering a vision of the politics in the making in the years between the wars. An introspective and epic novel at the same time, in which the author's masterful prose is put at the service of a captivating work that is called to be a classic and that, belatedly, comes to us to stay.
