| Summary | "La fille du pirate" by Émile Chevalier is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story sets sail on the high seas with the ill-fated brick ship Alcyon, whose crew and a handful of passengers, including a young man named Charles, battle formidable storms and the threats of piracy. As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to themes of adventure, danger, and the struggle for survival at sea. At the start of the book, the Alcyon faces a violent storm, testing the mettle of Captain François and his crew. Amid chaos, Charles, the son of the ship's owner, remains engaged with the officers on deck until disaster strikes when a menacing black corvette, known as the Corbeau, emerges, indicating imminent peril. The scene escalates into a violent confrontation with pirates, leading to devastation aboard the ship as it is pillaged without mercy. The opening portrays a vivid maritime landscape filled with tension and the harsh realities of life at sea, establishing a gripping backdrop for the ensuing drama surrounding Charles and the fate of those aboard the Alcyon.
