The Tides of Mont St. Michel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162794594)

The Tides of Mont St. Michel is a novel by French author Roger Vercel. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the lives of a group of fishermen who live on the coast of Brittany, France. The main character is Yvon, a young man who dreams of one day owning his own boat and becoming a successful fisherman. The novel explores themes of love, family, tradition, and the struggle to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. The tides of Mont St. Michel, a nearby island that is only accessible during low tide, serve as a metaphor for the ebb and flow of life and the constant change that the characters must adapt to. As Yvon grows older, he faces various challenges, including a tragic accident that leaves him disabled and unable to fish. Despite these setbacks, he remains determined to live a meaningful life and find happiness. The Tides of Mont St. Michel is a beautifully written and poignant novel that captures the spirit of the Breton people and their way of life. It is a timeless story that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
