About This Book

Le récit suit un jeune mousse embarqué sur un trois-mâts quittant Brest avec des émigrants et des familles, confronté à la faim, aux patrouilles anglaises et aux périls de la mer. La navigation se transforme en suite de fuites et de détours vers le sud, exposant passagers et marins à la menace des vaisseaux ennemis et aux difficultés du cap. La vie de bord, la solidarité entre les exilés et la guerre de course structurent l’action, tandis que la figure du célèbre corsaire Surcouf sert de toile de fond aux aventures et aux affrontements navals.
