| Summary | "Le pilote du Danube" by Jules Verne is a novel that was likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Ilia Brusch, a Hungarian fisher, who has recently won a fishing competition and announces an ambitious plan to descend the entire length of the Danube River, living solely off the fish he catches along the way. This journey is set against the backdrop of various social interactions and tensions, particularly related to the region's history and politics. The opening of the novel paints a vivid scene of a lively fishing competition at the "Rendez-vous des Pêcheurs" cabaret in Sigmaringen, where members of the Danubian League gather joyously. After the competition, Brusch not only astonishes the audience by winning the top prizes but also captures their imagination with his daring journey idea. As news of his plan spreads, it garners attention from the media and the public, leading to increased excitement and curiosity among both fishing enthusiasts and local communities. The narrative establishes Brusch as a unique character characterized by his skill and earnestly sets forth the challenges and adventures that await him on his ambitious quest.
