"Atar-Gull, Un Corsaire, Le Parisien en Mer, Voyages et Aventures sur Mer" by Eugène Sue is a maritime novel written in the early 19th century. The story features Captain Benoît, the owner of the brick called "La Catherine," as he navigates the challenges of trade and the complications it brings, particularly in the context of the slave trade and his personal life. The narrative promises intricate tales of adventure on the high seas, reflecting on moral dilemmas and human relationships against a backdrop of maritime commerce. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the calm after a tumultuous storm, as Captain Benoît tends to his ship, La Catherine, which has just weathered an agonizing ordeal at sea. The opening lays a scene of tranquility, depicting the ship gliding over the warm waters of the tropics. Presenting a leisurely captain engaged in musings about his family and the challenges of maritime life, the introduction sets the stage for both the character's external voyages and internal struggles. As Benoît prepares for his next trading venture, the complexities of his undertaking, including the nature of his dealings in the slave trade, come to the forefront, foreshadowing the intense moral conflicts that will likely arise throughout the narrative.
