About this book

On a windswept island in the English Channel, the solitary fisherman Gilliatt undertakes a superhuman ordeal (salvaging the engine of a wrecked steamship alone against storm, sea, and a monstrous octopus) all to win the hand of the woman he loves. Hugo turns a simple tale into an epic of man against nature, filled with sublime descriptions of the ocean's power and one man's heroic, tragic endurance. A celebration of labor, love, and sacrifice, Toilers of the Sea is a stirring and unusual novel that reads as a hymn to human courage against the elements. Grand and moving, it showcases Hugo's genius for making nature itself a towering character.
