Toilers of the Sea (French: Les Travailleurs de la mer) is a novel by Victor Hugo published in 1866. The book is dedicated to the island of Guernsey, where Hugo spent 15 years in exile. Hugo uses the setting of a small island community to transmute seemingly mundane events into drama of the highest calibre.
Just as his most famous novel, Les Miserables, drew from his French political knowledge, Toilers of the Sea revolves around everything he observed while there: the isolation of island-life, the sublime power of the sea, and the connection between man and nature.
