Pierre is the son of a peasant, poorly educated but always drawn to the sea. Initially a ship's carpenter, he becomes involved in the events shaking the old city of Saint-Malo during the early years of the Revolution.
Mais lorsque la violence de la Terreur s’éteint, il s’embarque en 1795 pour l’outre-mer et rejoint la flotte corsaire de l’Océan indien, alors qu’en Italie un certain général Bonaparte accède à la gloire…
