Kartoniert, 584 Seiten, 210mm x 148mm x 32mm, Sprache(n): eng Gilliat is an accomplished sailor, but due to a mysterious mother and a home locally regarded as haunted, his acceptance into Guernsey society is limited. That isolation doesn¿t stop him from falling for Déruchette, the ¿neat and delicate and pretty¿ niece of local ferry-owner Mess Lethierry. When the ship is involved in a catastrophic incident, Déruchette announces that she will marry the man who can salvage it; Gilliat immediately steps forwards to take on, alone, the impossible task. Victor Hugo wrote Toilers of the Sea while living on Guernsey, in the Channel Islands. It followed his extremely successful novel Les Misérables, both written there after exile from France for criticizing Napoleon¿s 1851 coup d¿état. The themes of individual struggle and triumph over the wild forces of nature are easily seen as a corollary for the industrialization happening in the society of the time, but the novel also records the contemporary life, language, and superstitions of the Channel Islands. The edition is based on the authorized translation of 1877 by William Moy Thomas.Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 ¿ 22 May 1885) was a French Romantic writer and politician. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote in a variety of genres and forms. He is considered to be one of the greatest French writers of all time.

The community's distrust is further fueled by his mysterious origins and the fact that he inherited the house from a woman whose relationship to him remains unclear.
