Summary: "Toilers of the Sea" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Gilliatt, a solitary fisherman living on the island of Guernsey, and explores themes of heroism, nature, and societal rejection. The narrative delves into Gilliatt's struggles against the elements and the challenges he faces as an outsider in his community, setting the stage for a tale of both physical and emotional endurance. The opening of "Toilers of the Sea" introduces Gilliatt on a snowy Christmas Day, illustrating the stark and isolated environment of Guernsey. As he walks along a deserted road, his solitary existence is contrasted against the appearance of a young girl named Déruchette, who leaves a trace of his name in the snow, hinting at a connection between them. The narrative unfolds to present Gilliatt not only as an enigmatic character, often viewed with suspicion by his neighbors, but also as someone intricately tied to the supernatural and the folklore of the region. He occupies a haunting house surrounded by mysteries and is burdened with a reputation that casts him as an outcast, even as he shows kindness and possesses unique skills as a fisherman and craftsman. This sets the tone for his journey, which promises to explore both external and internal conflicts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
