Os Trabalhadores do Mar by Victor Hugo
"Os Trabalhadores do Mar" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set in Guernsey, where the author finds inspiration to explore the struggles of man against nature, society, and himself, focusing on the character Gilliatt, a solitary fisherman who faces adversity and isolation. The opening of the novel establishes Gilliatt's environment and character while introducing the themes of superstition and societal judgment. On a snowyChristmas morning, Gilliatt is depicted wandering the desolate path near Saint-Sampson, seemingly disconnected from the local community that shuns him due to the haunted house he inhabits. As he contemplates his existence, his solitary nature and the implications of his mysterious past are laid bare, setting the stage for his struggles against both external forces and internal demons. The other key figure introduced is Mess Lethierry, a local shipowner with his own complexities, suggesting that Gilliatt’s story will intertwine with the lives of others in this coastal setting.
