| Summary |
"Plick y Plock" by Eugène Sue is a novel written in the early 19th century. This adventurous tale, steeped in themes of piracy and the supernatural, introduces various characters such as Kernok, a bold pirate, and Ivona, a mysterious witch. The novel explores their intertwined fates within a world of mariners, mystical encounters, and tumultuous sea voyages. The opening of the story establishes a grim and atmospheric setting along the treacherous coast of Pempoul during a stormy November night. Introduced are the main characters: a deranged boy named Pen-Ouët, his fearful mother Ivona, and the despondent desollador, as Ivona insists on the imminent danger posed by the night due to spirits roaming the beach. This tension escalates with the arrival of Kernok, a rugged and intense pirate, who seeks fortune and encounters ominous prophecies concerning his fate and that of his beloved. The narrative blends drama, suspense, and dark humor as it sets the stage for Kernok’s adventures and the ominous predictions lurking in the shadows. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
