Afloat by Guy de Maupassant

First published in the year 1888, the present fictional novel ‘Afloat’ by Guy de Maupassant is a book of dazzling but treacherously shifting currents, a seemingly simple logbook of a sailing cruise along the French Mediterranean coast that opens up to reveal unexpected depths, as Guy de Maupassant merges fact and fiction, dream and documentation in a wholly original style.
