"Toilers of the Sea" is a novel by Victor Hugo that tells the story of Gilliatt, a solitary fisherman living on the island of Guernsey. The tale unfolds as Gilliatt becomes enmeshed in a struggle against both nature and society when he attempts to salvage a wrecked ship, the Durande, trapped in a perilous reef. His journey is not only a battle against the elements but also a quest for love, as he seeks to win the heart of Déruchette, a woman betrothed to another. Through Gilliatt's trials, Hugo explores themes of human endurance, isolation, and the sublime forces of the sea. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
