İzlanda Balıkçısı

In the town of Paimpol in the Brittany region, there is feverish work before each hunting season. Sailors' tarpaulin clothes and southwest hats are sewn; Their nets and fishing rods are repaired, the provisions they will take with them are prepared... The year is divided into two: the months when the fishermen are in town and the months when they go to sea... There is as much happiness when they return as there is an anxious wait when they are away (or the mourning that falls on the town for those who cannot return). ...

Even though there is a fishing town in the background of the novel, The Icelandic Fisherman focuses on three families: the Gaos, who have been sailors for generations, the Moans, and the Mevels, a rich family... Yann, the handsome and proud son of the Gaos, and Gaud, the beautiful daughter of the Mevel family. , Yann's close friend Sylvestre, who lives with his elderly grandmother. The only obstacle to the long-lasting love between Maud and Yann is the class difference between them. Gaud, who has "seen Paris", is ready to give up everything for his love, but he does not get the response he expected from Yann. Yann, on the other hand, cannot reveal his love for a girl who is much richer than him.

As in all books about the sea, the protagonist is the sea... The sea is the cause of both life and death. He is always the one who has the last word... In The Icelandic Fisherman, Pierre Loti has used such a simple language that one can get carried away by its waves, that you feel the same pain and the same happiness deeply. A language that never gets old, a story that could be experienced anywhere in the world if the names changed. Undoubtedly, reality with unquestionable definitions, expressions, and pain that gets stuck in your throat like a fist...
