Summary "Veljeni" by Pierre Loti is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Yves Kermadec, a sailor from Brittany, as he navigates his life on the seas and the challenges he faces upon his return home. Central to the narrative are themes of identity, longing, and the harsh realities of maritime life, which are embodied in the character of Yves. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Yves through a sailor's book filled with records of his life at sea, setting the stage for the exploration of his character. The narrative shifts to Yves's birth and childhood, highlighting the turbulent circumstances of his entry into the world. As a young man returning to Brittany after several years at sea, Yves grapples with a mix of excitement and sorrow, including his reflections on his mother and the troubled relationships he has with his surroundings.
