De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a tropical setting where the main characters, Gaspard Cadillac and his companion Yves, find themselves shipwrecked on a deserted islet after the catastrophic explosion of their ship, the "Rhone". As they adapt to their new reality, themes of survival, isolation, and the complexities of human relationships emerge, highlighted by Gaspard's inner turmoil and emotional struggles. At the start of the narrative, Gaspard and Yves are depicted in peaceful but precarious circumstances on the islet, grappling with their thoughts and the past. Surrounded by the pristine beauty of the sea and its mysteries, Gaspard reflects on his feelings for Anisette, a woman who had caused tensions between him and Yves. When they discover a hidden shipwreck in a lagoon—a ghostly remnant of a past voyage—curiosity intertwines with foreboding. As the story progresses, their contrasting personalities lead to conflict, culminating in tragedy when Gaspard accidentally kills Yves during a heated argument. This pivotal moment thrusts Gaspard into a harrowing journey of loneliness and guilt, setting the stage for a struggle not only against the elements but within himself as he navigates the consequences of his actions.
