Rate this book
Mess Lethierry est propriétaire de La Durande, un steamer échoué sur un écueil par la machination criminelle de son capitaine, le sieur Clubin. Fou de rage à l'idée que le moteur révolutionnaire de son steamer soit définitivement perdu, Lethierry promet de donner la main de sa nièce Déruchette à celui qui récupèrera la machine de l'épave coincée entre les deux rochers de l'écueil Douvres au large de Guernesey. Gilliatt, pêcheur aussi robuste que rêveur, mais surtout épris de Déruchette, accepte le défi. Après maintes péripéties, notamment sa lutte contre les éléments et la pieuvre, Gilliatt réussit sa mission.

After Napoleon III seized power in 1851, French writer Victor Marie Hugo went into exile and in 1870 returned to France; his novels include The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1831) and Les Misérables (1862).

This poet, playwright, novelist, dramatist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, and perhaps the most influential, important exponent of the Romantic movement in France, campaigned for human rights. People in France regard him as one of greatest poets of that country and know him better abroad.

Ce livre doives être lieu par tout le monde point et il doives être lu car en lisant les mots on graves ces mots dans le cerveau cervelle ?.
L'empathie, la curiosité, la croyance, il est tout ici.

This book needs to be read by everyone and it needs to be read, not heard, because in reading the words are engraved in your brain.
Empathy, curiosity, stupidity, it's all here.
