«Les Hommes à terre» is Bernard Giraudeau's collection of short stories, published by Métailié in paperback (182 pages, in French).
Five stories set in port cities such as Ho Chi Minh, Brest, Lisbon and La Rochelle. Their characters—sailors, castaways and travellers—live tales of memory, love, loss and the urge to leave. Giraudeau's prose combines lyricism and rawness to describe the melancholy of those who are on land but still gaze at the sea.
Part of the Suites collection from Éditions Métailié. Bernard Giraudeau, born in La Rochelle, was also an actor and filmmaker.
For readers with a command of French who enjoy stories about the sea, travel and memory.
