N42      Books I translated   4

 

  I will dub my Blog No 1 which is about The Silk  Road  No 3 in my” Books I translated” series. So this blog is  about Dolphin’s Sunrise and it will be No 4 in this series.

    

It is written by Elizabeth Webster . I read it from the Readers Digest Condensed Book . So it is not an original , but a condensed one.

   

  The main theme of the book is animal rights (whales and dolphins ) . Our world now has become an overpopulated one and food to feed all  mouths is one problem. So men is squeezing all they can from land and sea to get food to feed all mankind. From seas and oceans men uses all kinds of vessels, machineries, and nets to catch all kinds of sea animals and even though there are rules concerning  fishing , sometimes they are violated to suit the greediness of human being.So many sea species are in danger of being extinct and some had already been extinct forever. 

   

   The hero of this book is Mathew a young boy of 15/16 . He became an orphan when fire broke out in his flat killing his mother . During this incident Matt rescued 4 small children whose parents were  at work but broke a leg and got some burns. The children’s parents were indebted to Mathew and they took him to Cornwall , a seaside place where they  were going to stay free in a caravan.

    

Mathew was a bright boy who can play the guitar well especially classics and also a whiz in computer. In Cornwall he met Skip the aqua club runner and his girl friend Petra who sometimes come to visit. He also met a lonely old man ,Captain Verney St George who owns a shipping empire and had a mysterious past.  While swimming in the sea he also met and became friends with a dolphin whom he named Flite. Matt and Flite became very much attached to each other.

     

When winter came Madge and her family and many people went back to their home. The captain also went south where there is sunshine and warmth. Before he went  Matt worked the computer for the captain at his request and they came to like each other very much.
