Krátký popis

Â“No character was ever thrown into such strange relief as GilliattÂ… here, indeed, the true position of man in the universe.Â” Â—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, DÃ©ruchette. 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 HugoÂ’s famed The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les MisÃ©rables. 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.
