Project Gutenberg 2008-08-12 Public domain in the USA. 409 Michelet, Jules 1798 1874 Michelet, J. El Mar Spanish translation of ''La Mer'' (1861) Produced by Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "El Mar" by Jules Michelet is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work explores the profound and multifaceted nature of the sea, examining its physical characteristics, ecological importance, and the emotional responses it elicits in humans. Michelet delves into themes of awe, fear, and reverence, offering a lyrical interpretation of the oceanic world and its mysteries. At the start of the text, the author reflects on the innate fear and respect that the sea evokes in both humans and animals. He describes the impressions of a Dutch sailor who finds the vast ocean intimidating, establishing a narrative that juxtaposes humanity's fragility against the majestic and unyielding power of the sea. Michelet employs vivid imagery to convey how the churning waves, tempestuous winds, and dark depths symbolize both an alluring beauty and a formidable menace, leading to a deep reflection on the relationship between man and the primal forces of nature. Through these observations, the opening portion sets the stage for an exploration of how the sea influences life, geography, and human emotions across time.
