| Summary |
"Men of the Sea is an opus of eight spectacularly drawn dark, poetic stories adapted by Riff Reb's. This collection offers "A Smile of Fortune," from Joseph Conrad; "The Sea Horses" and "The Shamraken Homeward Bound," from William Hope Hodgson; "The Galley Slaves" and "The Far South," from Pierre Mac Orlan; "A Descent into the Maelstrom," from Edgar Allan Poe; "The Three Customs Officers," from Marcel Schwob; and "The Shipwreck," from Robert Louis Stevenson. These eight tales, themselves interspersed by seven double-page spreads dedicated to extracts from illustrated classics, deliver a rich, poetic, and masterfully crafted work."-- Provided by publisher. |
