Synopsis

À quinze ans, Harvey Cheyne possède au suprême degré le don de se rendre antipathique. Les passagers du paquebot sur lequel a pris place ce fils d'un multi-millionnaire américain sont unanimes à lui reprocher son insolence prétentieuse. Harvey tombe par-dessus le bastingage. Est-ce pour lui la fin? Non, c'est le commencement de l'existence. Les hommes du We're Here, géolette britannique que commande le rude, mais bienveillant Disko Troop, se chargent de lui apprendre à vivre, au cours d'une campagne de pêche mouvementée.

About this title

About the Author

Joseph Rudyard Kipling ; 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901), and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If—" (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and its youngest recipient to date. Among other honours, he was sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, all of which he declined. Kipling's subsequent reputation has changed according to the political and social climate of the age[ and the resulting contrasting views about him continued for much of the 20th century. George
