Below the surface of the ocean, oceanographer François Sarano encountered a magnificent great white shark measuring five and a half meters in length. Captivated by the shark's graceful allure, Sarano felt an undeniable connection with it as they swam side by side, their shoulders touching, their eyes meeting, creating a solitary figure slicing through the ocean's depths. This profound encounter left an indelible mark on Sarano, revealing the vast gaps in our understanding of shark lives. It ignited a deep passion within him to become an unwavering advocate for their protection.

In this book, Sarano draws upon the latest scientific research to shed light on the biology, behavior, and remarkable traits of sharks. He aims to dismantle the barriers of prejudice and honor their true essence, recognizing them as a precious remnant of wildness in a world often dominated by human activities. However, despite their significance, shark populations face threats, similar to many other species, as they have been hunted and exploited by humans.

Sarano advocates for a transformative shift in mindset, urging us to immerse ourselves in the world of the other, fostering a sense of empathy and understanding. He believes that by embracing this perspective, we can create a harmonious coexistence where both human beings and non-human entities can find their rightful place within the broader global ecosystem. Through his compelling storytelling and scientific insights, Sarano encourages readers to reevaluate their relationship with sharks and join him in the fight for their conservation and protection.
