Toilers of the Sea (1866) is a novel by Victor Hugo. Written while Hugo was living in exile on the island of Guernsey, Toilers of the Sea 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.

Autorenporträt
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) fue uno de los escritores, poetas y dramaturgos más célebres de Francia, conocido por su contribución a la literatura romántica y su profunda influencia en el pensamiento social y político. Nacido en Besançon (Francia), Hugo demostró talento literario desde una edad temprana y alcanzó la fama con sus poemarios y obras de teatro, antes de consolidar su legado como novelista. Sus obras maestras, Los miserables y El jorobado de Notre-Dame, siguen siendo clásicos atemporales que exploran temas como la justicia, la redención y la lucha de los marginados. Apasionado defensor de los derechos humanos, Hugo utilizó sus escritos para desafiar la opresión, luchar por la libertad y apoyar los ideales democráticos. Sus convicciones políticas le llevaron al exilio durante el reinado de Napoleón III, un periodo que no hizo sino intensificar sus inquietudes literarias e ideológicas. Sus historias, personajes e ideas siguen inspirando a generaciones de todo el mundo.
