قصة الكتاب :
An Iceland Fisherman (French: Pêcheur d\'Islande, 1886) is a novel by French author Pierre Loti. It depicts the romantic but inevitably sad life of Breton fishermen who sail each summer season to the stormy Iceland cod grounds. Literary critic Edmund Gosse characterized it as \"the most popular and finest of all [Loti\'s] writings.\" Loti\'s style is a combination of the French realist school, such as Émile Zola, and a form of literary impressionism. As Jules Cambon says, Loti wrote at a \"..time when M. Zola and his school stood at the head of the literary movement. There breathed forth from Loti\'s writings an all-penetrating fragrance of poesy [poetry], which liberated French literary ideals from the heavy and oppressive yoke of the Naturalistic school.\" Loti uses a simple vocabulary, \"but these words, as used by him, take on a value we did not know they possessed; they awaken sensations that linger deeply within us.\" The characters are humble and simple working-class people, the incidents are normal every day affairs, dealing with the themes of love and separation.
