Unable to find work in his field, Joseph Ponthus enlists with a temp agency and starts to pick up casual shifts in the fish processing plants and abattoirs of Brittany. Day after day he records with infinite precision the nature of work on the production line- the noise, the weariness, the dreams stolen by the repetitive nature of exhausting rituals and physical suffering. But he finds solace in a life previously lived. Shelling prawns, he dreams of Alexandre Dumas. Pushing cattle carcasses, he recalls Apollinaire. And, in the grace of the blank spaces created by his insistent return to a new line of text - mirroring his continued return to the production line - we discover the woman he loves, the happiness of a Sunday, Pok Pok the dog, the smell of the sea.

In this celebrated French bestseller, translated by Stephanie Smee, Ponthus captures the mundane, the beautiful and the strange, writing with an elegance and humour that sit in poignant contrast with the blood and sweat of the factory floor. On the Line ( la ligne) is a poet's ode to manual labour, and to the human spirit that makes it bearable.

The portrait of a woman in her decline, her last love.
Heroin belongs to a period in the life of the author and is standing witness to a concern exceeded.
...
When Thérèse, with a trembling hand, spreads her hair swept across his forehead, so that the boy she charm, takes into horror and away from her, this gesture gives meaning to the whole book.

The beginning of the novel takes place in Bordeaux and in the Gironde moor around 1905. Blanche Frontenac, a still young widow, is totally dedicated to the education of her five children: the eldest, Jean-Louis, then José, Marie, Danielle and finally, the younger, Yves. For Blanche, this fragile child, dreamy and eager for affection, "differed from the others, like the only puppy in the litter spotted with fawn." Blanche never questions her dedication, but despite everything she finds herself frustrated in her personal development.

In The Desert of Love, we find two men in love with the same woman: a boy of seventeen and his father, who is fifty-two. Neither gets it, and neither can forget it. This woman, Maria Cross, is a small bourgeois who, out of laziness and a taste for luxury, has become a well-kept woman. People speak of her with contempt and as a monster of science and perversity. When Raymond Courrèges meets her, at the end of his adolescence, he finds with amazement a small, ordinary and sentimental being, eager for consideration that we are not used to granting him. Raymond shows him an easy banter and gets kicked out, despite Maria's very lively taste of her youth and freshness. During this time, she herself is loved by Doctor Courrèges, who is her doctor. But she has for him those feelings of deference and respect which are very far from love, and he himself, despite the torture he experiences, cannot pass from this state of serious and fatherly counselor to that of lovers. passionate or transfixed. He suffers in silence and we know of few paintings more moving of love than that of this mr, serious, thoughtful man, whom anguish torments and who is forced to live among his family, in the starchy atmosphere of a provincial family, where each one observes, watches over each other, teases each other and never tells each other the truth. At the end of the book, Maria Cross married her lover, and she became a definitely inaccessible bourgeois. But between the father and the son Courrèges was woven a secret and deeply alive bond: "They are parents by Maria Cross."

A wintering in the ice was written seven years before Jules Verne's decisive meeting with the publisher Jules Hetzel. However, Jules Verne will judge this little novel worthy of entering without modification in Les Voyages extraordinaires alongside Five Weeks in a Balloon, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea or the Mysterious Island.

Wintering in the ice, despite its brevity, presents everything that, in the great adventure novels, opens the door to dreams: sea voyage, difficult quest, improbable survival in a hostile environment, mutiny, courage and love ...
