Pierre Loti is the pseudonym of the French nautical novelist Julien Viaud 1850-1923. Viaud was a Naval Officer and French novelist. For two years he cruised the coast of Brittany providing the background for this novel of the men who fished the northern waters. The novel is about the Breton fishermen of the North Atlantic Iceland cod fishing grounds. Loti writes about the "romantic" Maritime life of sailing ships in stormy seas.<br /> <br /> In 1886 Loti published a novel of life among the Breton fisher folk called Pêcheur d'Islande Iceland Fisherman which Edmund Gosse characterized as "the most popular and finest of all his writings." It shows Loti adapting some of the Impressionist techniques of contemporary painters especially Monet to prose and is a classic of French literature. The first English edition was published in 1888.<br /> <br /> Contemporary critic Edmund Gosse gave the following assessment of his work. "At his best Pierre Loti was unquestionably the finest descriptive writer of the day. In the delicate exactitude with which he reproduced the impression given to his own alert nerves by unfamiliar forms colors sounds and perfumes he was without a rival. Pierre Loti remains in the mechanism of style and cadence one of the most original and most perfect French writers of the second half of the 19th century. T. Werner Laurie LTD unknown

About The Author : Pierre Loti 1850 �1923 was a French naval officer and novelist known for his exotic novels and short stories. Born to a Protestant family Loti's education began in his birthplace Rochefort Charente-Maritime. At age 17 he entered the naval school in Brest and studied at Le Borda. He gradually rose in his profession attaining the rank of captain in 1906. In January 1910 he went on the reserve list. He was in the habit of claiming that he never read books saying to the Acad�mie fran�aise on the day of his introduction 7 April 1892 ""Loti ne sait pas lire"" ""Loti doesn't know how to read"" but testimony from friends proves otherwise as does his library much of which is preserved in his house in Rochefort. In 1876 fellow naval officers persuaded him to turn into a novel passages in his diary dealing with some curious experiences in Istanbul. The result was the anonymously published Aziyad� 1879 part romance part autobiography like the work of his admirer Marcel Proust after him.
