Toilers Of The Sea - Victor Hugo - Folio Society - 2014

On Guernsey, Gilliatt undertakes the dangerous task of recovering machinery from a wrecked vessel, hoping to win the affection of the shipowner’s niece. Alone among exposed rocks, his skill and endurance are tested by the sea. Victor Hugo places this struggle within a wider account of island life, love and social judgment. The novel follows the distance between an individual’s hopes and the forces, both natural and human, that may determine their outcome.
