Laurent Vogel (This book was produced from images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) "Un mousse de Surcouf" by Pierre Maël is a historical novel set in the late 18th century. The story follows the young doctor Charles Ternant and his family as they emigrate from France to seek a better life in the Americas amidst the turmoil of the French Revolution and conflicts with Britain. As they embark on their journey, they encounter the legendary corsair Robert Surcouf, whose heroic actions play a pivotal role in their fate. The opening of the novel introduces the dire circumstances surrounding the Ternant family as they board the ship "Bretagne", escaping poverty and political upheaval. Their hopes quickly turn to fear as they are pursued by British warships. Just when it seems that their plight is hopeless, the arrival of Surcouf and his vessel "Clarisse" offers a glimpse of salvation, setting the tone for adventure and heroism that will unfold in the story. This introductory chapter establishes both the historical context of the era and the personal stakes for the characters, providing a compelling backdrop for the ensuing narrative.
