Synopsis
Excerpt from Toilers of the Sea, And, Bug-Jargal
Houses are like the human beings who inhabit them. They become to their former selves what the corpse is to the living body. Superstition kills them. Then their aspect is terrible. These dead houses are common in the Channel Islands.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Set against the backdrop of the rugged Channel Islands in the mid-19th century, this book delves into the life of Gilliatt, a solitary and enigmatic figure who dwells in a haunted house on the fringes of a small, suspicious community. His mysterious origins, unconventional lifestyle, and rumoured connection to the supernatural make him an object of fear and fascination for his neighbours. The narrative weaves together elements of folklore, superstition, and social commentary, exploring themes of isolation, prejudice, and the complex relationship between humanity and the natural world. The author's vivid descriptions of the island landscape and its people create a rich and immersive reading experience. As Gilliatt navigates the challenges of his existence, his story becomes a powerful reflection on the enduring human struggles against societal norms, the forces of nature, and the complexities of the human heart. Ultimately, the book's insights offer a poignant exploration of the search for meaning and connection in a world often defined by misunderstanding and adversity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
