The story revolves around a group of passengers who embark on a sailing trip from Le Havre to Marseille on the ship, Ville-de-Montereau. The protagonist of the story is Monsieur Aubain, a wealthy Parisian who is travelling with his wife and daughter. The other passengers include a group of musicians, a young couple, and a mysterious man named Monsieur Rollinet. As the ship sets sail, the passengers begin to interact with each other, revealing their secrets, desires, and fears.However, the journey takes a dark turn when the ship encounters a storm and begins to sink. The passengers are forced to work together to survive and make it to the lifeboats. As they struggle to stay alive amidst the raging sea, they confront their own mortality and the fragility of human life.Throughout the novel, de Maupassant explores themes such as class, love, morality, and the human condition. His vivid descriptions of the sea and the storm create a sense of tension and urgency, making the reader feel as if they too are on board the doomed ship.""Afloat"" is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that showcases de Maupassant's mastery of storytelling and his ability to capture the complexities of human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
