| Summary | "Le Peuple de la Mer" by Marc Elder is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Urbain Coët, a taciturn fisherman who is building a beautiful new sloop named "Le Dépit des Envieux." As Urbain navigates his life in a coastal village, he confronts jealousy and rivalry, stemming from his aspirations and the envy of his peers. At the start of the novel, Urbain Coët is filled with anticipation as he prepares for the launch of his sloop, which he meticulously paints and adorns. The opening portion introduces the reader to the dynamics of his family, the Goustan boatbuilders, and the men of the village, highlighting their rough camaraderie and competitive spirit. Tensions arise with local rivals who harbor jealousy towards Urbain's success, especially as whispers of his father's past taint perceptions of his newfound fortune. The atmosphere is charged with both hope and underlying hostility as Urbain's ship becomes a symbol of his struggle for acceptance and pride within the maritime community.
