About the book

Victor Hugo's Toilers of the Sea is set on Guernsey and centres on Gilliatt, an isolated but resourceful fisherman who undertakes an extraordinary task after a ship is wrecked on dangerous rocks. His struggle against the sea, weather and machinery becomes both an adventure and a meditation on human endurance. Hugo combines romance, maritime drama and powerful descriptions of the Channel Islands and the natural world.
