    About this ebook

    An Iceland Fisherman is a novel by French author Pierre Loti from 1886.
    It depicts the romantic but inevitably sad life of Breton fishermen who sail each summer season to the stormy Iceland cod grounds. Literary critic Edmund Gosse characterized it as "the most popular and finest of all his writings."

      Iceland fisherman by Loti, Pierre Tales of the fisherman from Iceland and the struggles they face when they go out to sea.Also about those who wait for them on land.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
    • 3/5
      Understated and slow moving story of Brittany fishermen, the dangers they face at sea, the women they leave behind and the feelings they barely express. This is a story full of sorrow and longing. I would use pastoral to describe the genre, if I could apply such a term to fishermen. If a movie, this would be a first class tear jerker, with scenes of hardy men at sea, windswept rugged coasts and women scanning the horizon for boats that might never appear. The author knows exactly what he is doing.
