by Pierre Loti
Translated by W. P. Baines
"A Tale of Brittany (Mon frère Yves)" by Pierre Loti is a semi-autobiographical novel published in 1883. It chronicles the deep friendship between a French naval officer and Yves Kermadec, a hard-drinking Breton sailor, during the 1870s and 80s. Through vivid descriptions of seafaring life aboard ship and ashore, Loti explores their bond as they gamble, brawl, and roam the Breton countryside together. The novel captures the lore and spirit of Breton culture while testing the limits of loyalty and friendship.
