En el espacio reducido de un barco carguero se desarrolla un dramático episodio. Lannec y su compañero Moinard han comprado un viejo vapor inglés; en el primer viaje que hacen como armadores, la mujer de Lannec se empeña en acompañarle. Para la pareja, la travesía resulta una prueba muy dura; las relaciones entre ambos se agrian. En torno se mueven los miembros de la tripulación: desde el telegrafista, enamorado de Mathilde, al fantasma de a bordo que roba jamones de la despensa... Hay tormenta en el mar y en el interior del barco, una tormenta de intrigas y pasiones magistralmente descrita. Family feud, greed, jealousy all played out on a cargo ship called Tonnerre-de-Dieu in high seas from France to Germany to Iceland. All human life is there in a confined space with a backcloth of darkness, damp, waves and storms, brilliantly described, ending up more or less in misery. There is an excellent account of an attempt at rescuing crew from another ship. Le commandant Lannec, de Rouen, a acheté un vieux cargo anglais, le Busiris qu'il a rebaptisé le Tonnerre de Dieu. Mais, pour faire cette acquisition, il a été obligé de demander l'aidé de sa belle-mère, Mme Pitard; et en consé quence, sa femme, née Pitard, l'accompagne au cours de son premier voyage qui doit le mener à Hambourg. La présence d'une femme a bord (et Mme Pitard est encore jolie), les soupçons que celle-ci nourrit à l'égard de son mari, les querelles sourdes, les haines refoulées, tout cela finira par amener le drame. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

'Read him at your peril, avoid him at your loss' Sunday Times Captain Lannec has finally managed to buy his own ship with the financial help of his in-laws, the Pitards - and they've never let him forget it. When his temperamental wife Mathilde insists on coming along on the ship's first voyage, Lannec becomes increasingly unnerved by her presence, especially when he receives an anonymous note saying he won't make it back to port. As they hit a storm in the Atlantic, jealousy, spite, snobbery and suspicion are churned up in the boat's stiflingly close quarters... First published in 1935, The Pitards was one of the first novels Simenon wrote when he shelved his famous Maigret series in order to strike out in a new direction and make a name for himself as a literary writer. This gripping evocation of life at sea revolves around class and the tense unravelling of relationships, powerful themes that Simenon would return to throughout his writing career.
