"Le Morne-au-Diable" by Eugène Sue is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set during the late 17th century, it revolves around the voyage of the three-masted ship, La Licorne, which is traveling from La Rochelle to Martinique amid the tumult of war and piracy in the Caribbean. Central to the narrative is the character of the Reverend Father Griffon, who serves as a priest on the ship and plays a vital role in defending his parishioners during attacks. The story teases the mystery surrounding the enigmatic character known as the Barbe-Bleue, said to be wealthy and possibly involved in dark deeds, thus drawing attention to the themes of fortune, danger, and ambition that permeate the setting. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the ship La Licorne as it embarks on its dangerous journey. Among the passengers is Father Griffon, whose diverse skills—from agriculture to military defense—highlight his significance to the Caribbean community. The narrative shifts focus to the character of Croustillac, an adventurous Gascon eager to pursue fortune and romance, particularly attracted to the rumored wealth of the Barbe-Bleue. Croustillac's brash and audacious personality is immediately apparent as he makes grand claims about pursuing the Barbe-Bleue, despite the ominous reputation she holds. The chapter sets the stage for the unfolding drama, hinting at interpersonal conflicts, comedic interactions among passengers, and the larger, foreboding challenges that lie ahead—particularly concerning the tropical locale's dangers and the mysterious woman who piques Croustillac's interest.
