Product Description
Product Description
Following an incident at sea, fifty-year-old Captain Eugene Marius finds himself without employment or purpose in Marseille, paying fruitless daily visits to the port's shipping offices. Consumed by guilt, spurned by his family and faced with the futility of life away from the waters, Marius seeks solace in alcohol and the arms of a prostitute, but is unable to keep his mental and physical deterioration at bay. Remarkable in its gritty descriptions of Marseille and the psychological portrait of its protagonist, "The Closed Harbour" is a poignant, sharply written examination of the maritime profession and life as an outcast.
About the Author
Born in Liverpool to Irish immigrants, James Hanley left school at an early age to become a sailor. His experiences at sea informed many of his works. Unfairly neglected during his lifetime, only recently has this original, uncompromising novelist started to be reappraised as one of the finest English writers of the twentieth century.
