Of the many novels written by Pierre Loti one of his most endearing is TheIceland Fisherman. About a group of French fishermen who leave Brittany to fishin the rough but bountiful waters off the coast of Iceland this book is asmuch about the struggles they face in the violent weather of the North Atlanticas it is about the heartbreak faced by those left behind. Full of vividdescriptions of life both at sea and on land the range of emotions felt bythese men of the sea has never been better capturedfrom the solitude andisolation after many weeks at sea to the jubilations of returning home aftermany months away. «
