Produktbeschreibung

"Capitaines courageux" (aussi connu sous le nom de "Capitaines courageux, une histoire du banc de Terre-Neuve") est un roman de Rudyard Kipling paru en 1897.

Les "Capitaines courageux" : des marins aux prises avec les mers du Nord, à la recherche des grands bancs de poissons ; des hommes affrontant sans répit les tempêtes les plus violentes, et dont la vie n'est que sacrifice et héroisme. Harvey Cheyne, jeune héritier d'une immense fortune, accidentellement tombé à la mer, est recueilli par la "Sommes-Ici", goélette qui est l'univers de ces capitaines courageux. Obligé de partager le sort de ses compagnons de voyage, il oublie peu à peu son origine, son enfance, pour, au contact de la mer, devenir un homme.

Tout le monde connaît Rudyard Kipling pour son "Livre de la jungle", mais moins souvent pour ses rares romans. "Capitaines courageux" vaut pourtant le détour.

Autorenporträt

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet and novelist. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If-" (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." In 1907, at the age of 41, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date.
