About the Book

Les îles Shetland, les dernières terres de l'Écosse du côté du nord, sont séparés des Orcades par un large et orageux bras de mer, le roost de Sumburgh. Dans des temps reculés, dont les hommes n'ont pas gardé le souvenir, tout l'archipel des Shetland était réuni sans doute au continent britannique par un isthme dont les Orcades, l'île de Fair et les promontoires de Fitfull et de Sumburgh sont les seuls restes. Cette prolongation du continent, si elle exista jamais, a été brisée par les mers furieuses du nord en une cinquantaine de fragments qui forment autant d'îles, dont beaucoup n'ont pas d'habitants, dont quelques-unes n'ont pas même de nom 1. Unst, Yell, Whalsey et Mainland sont les plus grandes de ces îles. Découpées bizarrement, remplies de longues et étroites criques et de baies profondes, ces îles sont séparées l'une de l'autre par de tortueux détroits. La mer, dans ces détroits, est terrible, mais surtout dans ceux qu'on a nommés le Bluml sound et le Yell sound. Pour peu que le vent souffle de l'est ou de l'ouest, les vagues s'y engouffrent en tourbillonnant, s'y heurtent avec fracas, et y forment ces irrésistibles courants appelés roost par les habitants des côtes voisines. Malheur à la barque qui, par un jour de tempête, a trop tardé à regagner le port ! Elle doit, infailliblement se briser contre quelqu'un de ces nombreux îlots, aux côtes basses et rocailleuses, dont ces détroits sont hérissés, et contre lesquels le roost la pousse avec rage...
About the Author: Frédéric Bourgeois de Mercey, né le 20 mai 1803 à Paris et mort le 6 septembre 1860 au château de La Faloise, est un peintre, chroniqueur de voyages, critique d'art et romancier français.
