«Le navire de l'homme triste et autres contes marins» is Irène Frain's collection of sea tales, published by Archipel in paperback (357 pages, in French).
It recreates sea legends of Brittany: fairies who inhabited the islands when the sea was fresh, sailors who encounter giants, ghost ships, cursed lovers, a princess who toasts with sailors, and rats that kill. The devil rules the sea, though he often loses: pirates have no place in paradise.
Published in 2010 by Éditions de l'Archipel. French-language edition.
For readers of legends and sea tales, with an interest in Breton tradition and French literature.
Irène Frain is a French novelist, journalist, and historian. She is a founding member of the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society.
