{"product_id":"9780857428813","title":"Tristan","description":"\u003cb\u003eIntroducing a refreshing young French voice to English readers, this slim novel is both a riveting love story and an examination of humanity's assault on the natural world.\u003c\/b\u003e  After a seven-day journey on the South Atlantic Ocean aboard a lobster boat servicing Cape Town, Ida arrives on the island of Tristan. In the little island community, a village nestled on the slopes of a volcano whose only limits are the immense sky and the ocean, her bearings are gradually shifted as time slowly begins to expand.  When a cargo ship runs aground near a neighboring island, spilling massive amounts of oil, there is suddenly frantic activity in the town. Ida eagerly joins a team of three men who go to the small island to rescue oil-drenched penguins. One night, one of the men walks her back to the cabin where she is staying. They experience a night of love that continues to grow on the secluded island. For two weeks away from the world--the sea is rough, no boat can come to pick them up--the dance of their bodies and their all-consuming love is their only horizon.  Following the rhythm of the ocean and the untamed wind, Clarence Boulay brilliantly gives flesh to a dizzying sensation of sensual abandonment. \u003ci\u003eTristan\u003c\/i\u003e raises emotional sails and upends all certainty.","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59654642696524,"sku":"9780857428813","price":13.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/4163\/2076\/files\/9780857428813-bfd075e9041ad74f_front.webp?v=1793372387","url":"https:\/\/foxandfable.com\/de\/products\/9780857428813","provider":"Fox \u0026 Fable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
