“The Sea Workers” is one of Hugo’s most popular novels, and it takes the sea as its primary setting. The sea has always attracted creative minds, prompting them to think and reflect on its vast expanses and mysteries. They viewed it from a comprehensive and profound perspective. Hugo followed their example, especially since he had lived by the sea for a long time in his life, including in exile in Niez.
The story is simple, even naive. Gilliat, a sailor who has changed his place of residence, lives with his mother, who has surrounded him with maternal care after she gave him life. However, he suffers, even to the point of disappearing, from his loss of her, and from his isolation and loneliness. Nevertheless, he is a son of the people who exerted his utmost effort to prove his humanity and perform a miraculous act: saving the shipwrecked ship Loiterie off the Dover Rock, which he named the Adorand. Hugo glorifies the character of Gilliat as a hard-working, poor man who gives without measure, devoting his abilities to a noble cause. His goal is to build, not destroy or take revenge. Hugo, in particular, creates a novel that confronts the obstacle of “false beliefs and preconceived notions,” reaffirming the value of sublime human values in the face of the worship of money and wealth, the dominance of cheap instincts and fleeting material things, and elevating the justifications that make the human being worthy of life.

Prisoner of Heaven
د.ا7.10After the shadow of the wind and the angel game, I ended my strange meeting with Carlos Zafon in the third part of the Tomb of Forgotten Books series in this piece that I read while trying to understand what was going on in his head, which wanted the prisoner of heaven to tell us the dark nights of Barcelona from the window of its prisons, that prison that embraced Martin for a long time and through which he excelled in writing The Game of the Angel, which was the hero of that novel David Martin and Isabella, and we got to know their end, which was not confirmed by the lines. The writer also explains that what we can consider a coincidence with us may be wisely studied and what we interact with with all honesty may be fake and obsolete as the first boot, the past is just images stuck in our heads and just a glance of it returns to expose itself, and opens new cracks in our hearts, pushing you to search and explore what the truth is and to what extent it can comfort you or in any proportion that may make you a wreckage between the legs, yet the search for it is The way of salvation,
