| 這部小說的題材，取自法國布列塔尼北部地區的漁民生活。一八七七年至一八七八年間，洛蒂和一個高大強壯、身手矯健的水兵皮埃爾·勒柯爾結下了親密的友誼，這個來自布列塔尼的漁民出身的水手，後來成為小說《我的兄弟伊弗》中的主人公和《冰島漁夫》中揚恩的原型。正是在他身上，洛蒂認識了世世代代靠漁業為生的「冰島人」。這個勤勞勇敢的航海民族，每年要在冰島海面度過漫長的春季和夏季，直到秋天才返回家園。這項艱苦而危險的職業，不知葬送了多少生命。八十年間，一百多條漁船和兩千多名壯漢就這樣在海面上消失了。對這場人與海的無止無休的較量，洛蒂作為一個海員，自然有深刻的體驗和感受，於是由此產生了一部前無古人的海的詩篇。 | |||

Thomy Bourdelle dans Pêcheur d'Islande de Pierre Guerlais (1933)
An Iceland Fisherman (French: Pêcheur d'Islande, 1886) is a novel by French author Pierre Loti. It depicts the romantic but inevitably sad life of Breton fishermen who sail each summer season to the stormy Iceland cod grounds. Literary critic Edmund Gosse characterized it as "the most popular and finest of all [Loti's] writings." [1]
Loti's style is a combination of the French realist school, such as Émile Zola, and a form of literary impressionism.[1] As Jules Cambon says, Loti wrote at a "..time when M. Zola and his school stood at the head of the literary movement. There breathed forth from Loti's writings an all-penetrating fragrance of poesy [poetry], which liberated French literary ideals from the heavy and oppressive yoke of the Naturalistic school."[2] Loti uses a simple vocabulary, "but these words, as used by him, take on a value we did not know they possessed; they awaken sensations that linger deeply within us."[3] The characters are humble and simple working-class people, the incidents are normal every day affairs, dealing with the themes of love and separation.[2]
Loti's greatest strength is in the depictions of nature, placing it center stage, as Cambon says:
It was adapted for the stage by Louis Tiercelin with music by Guy Ropartz. Another work based on the same novel was the 30-minute symphonic poem Nordland-Rhapsodie (Nordic Rhapsody) for large orchestra written by Austrian composer Joseph Marx in 1929. The novel has been filmed three times, most notably in 1959 by French director Pierre Schoendoerffer.
It's also quoted and referenced as inspiration in the 2015 movie Lichtes Meer.
