This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toilers of the Sea (French: Les Travailleurs de la mer) is a novel by Victor Hugo published in 1866. The book is dedicated to the island of Guernsey, where Hugo spent 15 years in exile. Like The Book of Ebenezer Le Page (1981) by G. B. Edwards, Hugo uses the setting of a small island community to transmute seemingly mundane events into drama of the highest calibre. Les Travailleurs de la Mer is set just after the Napoleonic Wars and deals with the impact of the Industrial Revolution upon the island. The story concerns a Guernseyman named Gilliatt, a social outcast who falls in love with Deruchette, the niece of a local shipowner, Mess Lethierry. When Lethierry's ship is wrecked on the Roches Douvres, a perilous reef, Deruchette promises to marry whoever can salvage the ship's steam engine. Gilliatt eagerly volunteers, and the story follows his physical trials and tribulations (which include a battle with an octopus), as well as the undeserved opprobrium of his neighbours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI. EXCAVATORS. EXCAVATORS, or boring animals, are some of them so destructive, in the pursuit of their legitimate occupation, that they have obtained an unenviable notoriety amongst men, who are often scheming to circumvent them in their nefarious designs. Although somewhat beyond the scope of our original design to include the marine mollusks within our category, yet, as a preliminary to the more minute and insignificant excavators, it will be necessary to devote a few lines to the boring mollusks. Foremost, perhaps, in notoriety will be the Teredo, that terror of shipowners, and those interested in wooden structures exposed to the sea. These creatures have the audacity to attack every piece of wood which comes within their reach, perforating it in all directions, until at last it crumbles at a touch. Many a ship has split in the open sea, through the planks having been drilled by this insidious invader. The hardest oak or teak wood is no obstacle to its depredations. "The animal always tunnels in the direction of the grain, and if in its course it meets with another, engaged in the same process, it alters the direction of its course, so that a piece of wood attacked by many Teredos becomes completely honey-combed." In the beginning of the century, half the coast of Holland was threatened with the invasion of the sea, because the piles, which upheld the dykes, were attacked by the Teredo; and it required an outlay of a large sum of money to secure the country from the disaster of an inundation, caused by a contemptible mollusk. "The body of the Teredo is long and worm-like; its colour greyish-white (fig. 66). At one end is a knot, improperly called its head, and the other extremity bifurcates into what may be called two tails....
Download or read book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Annotated with Biography of Verne and Plot Analysis written by Jules Verne and published by Golgotha Press. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some critics claim that Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, published in 1870, is Jules Verne’s masterpiece. The novel is narrated by Professor Pierre Aronnax of the Paris Museum of Natural History. It is set in the year 1866 (Verne was already working on the manuscript at that time) and the world of the sea is in the news with the supposed sightings of a sea monster that is much too large and fast to be a whale. When a boat is damaged, apparently by the sea monster, Aronnax, while on a researching assignment in New York is asked by the United States government to help track down the monster. Aronnax (illustrations of Aronnax in the original edition look very much like Verne) takes his loyal Belgian valet (Conseil) with him – both Aronnax and Conseil are men of science – cool, rational, and possessing encyclopaedic knowledge of the sea. Ned Land serves as their foil – a passionate and foolhardy harpooner from Canada. This annotated edition includes a biography and critical essay.
