About the Book

Extrait: Le Capitaine-Noir. Un grand navire anglais, couvert de passagers abrités sous de larges tentes à demi usées par le soleil dévorant de la ligne, flottait immobile sur les mers inanimées de l'équateur. Depuis un mois et demi, ces calmes, qui sont le néant de la mer, ces calmes, cent fois plus redoutés des marins que les tempêtes, qui ne sont qu'un combat pour eux, enchaînaient au même lieu, au même point, le Mascarenhas. Les vents légers qui l'avaient conduit jusque dans cette partie de l'Océan s'étaient dissipés aussitôt dans l'air torréfiant, une fois qu'ils semblèrent avoir attiré le rapide bâtiment dans ces parages comme dans un piége fatal. Les premiers jours de cette cruelle station au milieu des ondes, les jeunes passagers s'étaient amusés à jeter dans l'eau, que n'effleurait déjà plus la brise, quelques morceaux de papier ou de bois légers que devait bientôt emporter le sillage du bâtiment; mais depuis un mois ces tristes indices étaient restés le long du navire, à la place même où ils étaient tombés, et les passagers voyaient chaque matin avec effroi, en sortant de leurs chambres, ce signe effrayant de l'immobilité du navire qui les portait! Jean Antoine René Édouard Corbière, né à Brest (Finistère) le 1er avril 1793 et mort à Morlaix (Finistère) le 27 septembre 1875, est un marin, armateur, journaliste et écrivain français, considéré comme le père du roman maritime en France. Biographie Les années de formation La famille Corbière est originaire du Haut-Languedoc (le hameau de Valès, aujourd'hui sur la commune du Bez, à l'est de Castres, dans le Tarn). À la naissance d'Édouard, son père est capitaine d'infanterie de Marine. Sa mère, Jeanne-Renée Dubois, est née à Morlaix en 1768. Édouard est le troisième de quatre enfants. Orphelin de père en 1802, le jeune Édouard n'a alors d'autre choix que d'entrer dans la Marine pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. Mousse en 1804, novice en 1806, aspirant dès 1807, Édouard Corbière connaît la dure expérience d'un ponton britannique, celui de Tiverton (Devon) en 1811-1812. Il est écarté de la Marine à la Restauration en raison de ses opinions libérales. Les voyages Devenu pamphlétaire, il connaît quelques déboires avec la justice royale, d'abord à Brest en 1819, à cause de ses écrits dans La Guêpe, puis à Rouen en 1823, dans La Nacelle, qui le poussent à reprendre la mer, cette fois au commerce. Pendant cinq ans, il navigue surtout entre Le Havre et la Martinique, comme capitaine au long cours, sur un vieux trois-mâts de prise britannique, la Nina, ce qui lui vaudra de la part de ses critiques littéraires, des accusations de s'être livré à la traite négrière.
