Written while Hugo was living in exile on the island of Guernsey, \u003ci\u003eToilers of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of adventure that expresses the everyday struggles of a fool in love while capturing the changes wrought by political and economic revolution in Europe. \"Gilliatt lived in the parish of St. Sampson. He was not liked by his neighbours; and there were reasons for that fact.\" Viewed as an outsider by the seafaring community of Guernsey, Gilliat lives alone in a house deemed haunted, though no one would dare visit him anyway. Despite his skill as a fisherman, the townspeople claim he is a malevolent sorcerer, all but condemning him to a life of total seclusion. In love with the niece of a prominent shipowner, he volunteers to salvage what he can from a vessel that was wrecked some distance from the coast. Braving the elements and coming face to face with a vicious octopus, Gilliatt seizes his only chance at escaping his lonely circumstances, at finding love at last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
