This Is A New Release Of The Original 1902 Edition.
1902. From the French Classical Romances. Translated from the
French with a critical introduction by his Excellency M. Jules
Cambon Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to
the United States. A frontispiece and numerous other portraits with
descriptive notes by Octave Uzanne. After joining the French Navy,
Loti (pen name of Louis Julien Marie Viaud) 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 seas of
Iceland. A prolific writer, Loti used every strange and exotic
scene as a background for his romance novels. The book begins:
There they were, five huge, square-built seamen, drinking away
together in the dismal cabin, which reeked of fish-pickle and
bilge-water. The overhead beams came down too low for their tall
statures, and rounded off at one end so as to resemble a gull's
breast, seen from within. The whole rolled gently with a monotonous
wail, inclining one slowly to drowsiness. See other titles by this
author available from Kessinger Publishing.
