- Summary
-
Features a cast of Breton seafarers...but the most powerful aspect of the novel is the sea itself, the changing moods of the sea-becalmed and mysterious, stormy and destructive-dominate the lives of the simple fishermen who earn their living in Europe's northern waters. The sea becomes in this way the symbol of man's dependence on and struggle against nature, which is at once bountiful and all consuming.--from: "Pierre Loti," in Dictionary of Literary Biography, Volume 123: Nineteenth-Century French Fiction Writers: Naturalism and Beyond, 1860-1900. A Bruccoli Clark Layman Book. Edited by Catharine Savage Brosman, Tulane University. The Gale Group, 1992, pp. 158-172.
