The story follows Sir Olliver, an Englishman who is so disenchanted with life and experiences that he embarks on a voyage seeking emotional excitement. With a whimsical desire for chaos, he becomes a central figure in a plot that revolves around themes of adventure, isolation, and the comical absurdities of human nature. At the start of the novel, we meet Captain Michel of the ship "Cyclope", reflecting on his life and impending retirement while navigating to New Guinea. The captain is visited by a suspicious old sailor, Pharamond, who warns him about Sir Olliver, their aristocratic passenger who longs for an adventure, including a fabricated shipwreck. Sir Olliver is depicted as eccentric and melancholic, expressing his desire for perilous experiences while simultaneously displaying a peculiar fascination with death and suffering. This absurd longing leads to a humorous conspiracy hatched by the captain and his crew to abandon Sir Olliver on a deserted island as a practical joke, setting the stage for the ensuing comical and chaotic events.
