Beschreibung
The great maritime state of Orsenna has long been lulled by settled peace and prosperity. It is three hundred years since it was actively at war with its traditional enemy two days' sail across the water the savage land of Farghestan - a slumbering but by no means extinct volcano. The narrator of this story Aldo a world-weary young aristocrat is posted to the coast of Syrtes where the Admiralty keeps the seas constantly patrolled to defend the demarcation between the two powers still officially at war. His duties are to be the eyes and ears of the Signory to report back any rumours of interest to the State. Goaded however by his mistress Vanessa Aldobrandi he takes a patrol boat across the boundary to within cannon-shot of the Farghestani coastal batteries. The age-old undeclared truce is no more than a boil ripe to be lanced.

Über den Autor
Julien Gracq was born in 1910 in a village of Anjou. As a lieutenant in the French Army he was captured in the fighting round Dunkirk in 1940 but released the following year. A schoolteacher by profession, he taught history and geography for a period in Paris at the Lycée Claude-Bernard while Georges Perec was a pupil there. Julien Gracq (a pen-name) is author of several novels, including Balcony in the Forest, also published by Harvill; describing as it does the "phoney war" preceeding the outbreak of World War II, that novel has a central element in common with The Opposing Shore.
