Summary

Human beings struggle to survive.
On the high seas, natural forces oppose men with extreme harshness. This reality is portrayed in a classic novel of our literature, sometimes sad and always authentic, capable of dignifying loneliness and misery.
Ignacio Aldecoa wrote “Gran Sol” after sharing the intense experience of deep-sea fishing with the sailors of the Bay of Biscay. Witness of the sacrifice and poverty, he manages to bring us closer to their day to day life, their labor conflicts, their difficulties and their conversations with a singular talent.
The intimate bond between the workers of the sea and nature is revealed through a luminous and colorful language that builds a literary structure of unquestionable mastery.
