Pêcheur d’Islande, par Pierre Loti, Calmann Lévy
€17.00
Published by Calmann-Lévy at the turn of the twentieth century, Iceland Fisherman is one of Pierre Loti's most celebrated novels.
Through the story of Yann Gaos, a Breton sailor sailing to the dangerous fishing grounds of Iceland, and Gaud Mével who waits for him ashore, Loti creates a moving tale of love, separation, fate and the sea.
Drawing upon the harsh reality of the Breton cod fisheries, the novel vividly portrays the lives of fishermen, the dangers of ocean voyages and the atmosphere of the ports of northern Brittany.
The book became enormously popular and is believed to have inspired Théodore Botrel's famous song La Paimpolaise, helping to shape the romantic image of Breton fishermen in French culture.
