Set against the backdrop of World War II, a crew aboard the ship L'Indien embarks on a profound maritime journey, seeking solace from a chaotic civilization. As they navigate the sea, the narrative intertwines their spiritual quest with the mysteries of the ocean and their introspective dialogues. The Captain's rejection of modernity highlights their desire for a deeper purpose, making this tale an allegorical critique of war and society. Giono's lyrical prose invites readers to explore both the external world and the inner self, offering a poignant escape from reality.
