| Summary |
"Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 21" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of written works produced during the late 19th century. This volume includes a piece titled "Sur l'Eau," which is a reflective narrative of a coastal cruise along the Mediterranean. The text portrays the observations and musings of the narrator as he navigates the sea, presenting vivid descriptions of the landscapes and the existential thoughts that arise from being at sea. The opening of "Sur l'Eau" begins with the narrator waking to the refreshing sea breeze and embarking on a yacht named "Bel-Ami". As he describes the tranquil early morning, with the sun rising over the Mediterranean, he creates a rich tapestry of sights and sounds, including the gentle movements of the water and the distant lights of towns. Key characters include Bernard, the diligent captain, and his brother-in-law Raymond, whose contrasting personalities add depth to the maritime adventure. Highlighting the serenity and beauty of the sea, the narrator reflects on his solitude and the elemental forces around him, marking a poetic exploration of nature and human emotion.
