As a boy, Loti felt the call of the unknown. "I will wander all the
world over," he told himself, "and return, a grey-haired man, to
the home of my fathers to muse on the strange and beautiful things
I have seen." This ambition was realized. Entering the French Navy,
Loti saw the world from shipboard. He spent long months among the
palm groves of the South Seas; he visited the scorching coast of
Senegal and the wild seas of Iceland. And every strange and exotic
scene he made the background of a love story.
In this life, written with fervent sympathy, we journey with
Loti from Brittany to Constantinople, from China to Morocco, from
Egypt to Ispahan, breathing all the way the atmosphere and
recognizing the sources of the stories which have delighted the
peoples of all lands. Readers will find the biography of Pierre
Loti as fascinating as the tales for which he is so deservedly
renowned.
