Specificatii
A young man is murdered for his prized pet fish. An Asian tycoon
buys a single specimen for $150,000. Meanwhile, a pet detective
chases smugglers through the streets of New York. Delving into an
outlandish realm of obsession, paranoia, and criminality, The
Dragon Behind the Glass tells the story of a fish like none other:
a powerful predator dating to the age of the dinosaurs. Treasured
as a status symbol believed to bring good luck, the Asian arowana
is bred on high-security farms in Southeast Asia and sold by the
hundreds of thousands each year. In the United States, however,
it's protected by the Endangered Species Act and illegal to bring
into the country-though it remains the object of a thriving black
market. From the South Bronx to Singapore, journalist Emily Voigt
follows the trail of the fish, ultimately embarking on a years-long
quest to find the arowana in the wild. With a captivating blend of
personal reporting, history, and science, The Dragon Behind the
Glass traces our modern fascination with aquarium fish back to the
era of exploration when intrepid naturalists stood on the cutting
edge of modern science, discovering new and wondrous species in
jungles all over the world.
