Krátký popis
“No character was ever thrown into such strange relief as
GilliattÂ… here, indeed, the true position of man in the
universe.” —Robert Louis StevensonThe Toilers of the Sea tells
the fairytale-esque story of Gilliatt, an outcast fisherman who
must rescue an engine from a wrecked steamship. If successful, he
will win the hand of the shipowner''s beautiful daughter,
Déruchette. He will brave the harsh rocks, the freezing waves, and
even the grasp of a sea monster to prove his worth.ÂA richly
detailed study of early nineteenth-century Guernsey, The Toilers of
the Sea is the oft-forgotten novel that completes a trilogy with
Hugo’s famed The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misérables. It
is a tribute to the drama of nature and the insignificance of man
against it, to solitude in exile, and the light we choose to carry
in the darkness.
