Présentation de l'éditeur
Mrs. Smith had failed to see the flaw inherent in the name she had chosen. To her it had seemed that Simon was just right for her wide-eyed and wondrous baby uncommon and with a bit of style without being fancy. The alliteration chimed happily. In the circumstances Mr. Smith didnt care what she called the kid. But at school, of course, and in the village, in the Royal A ir Force, in the prisoner-of-war camps, and home again, Smith always and inevitably was Simple Simon. Oddly, it fitted him to perfection, but no one will ever know just how much the name conditioned the child and the man. In the whiteness of the moon Simon floated on the still surface of the sea, naked and at ease, like the figure of some god out of old mythology. Conch-shells should have sounded strange and sweet music; shining dolphins should have played about. His strong body with its flowing lines, his shapely head and chiselled features would have delighted Praxiteles, for by queer chance Mrs. Smith sboy had been cast in a classic and heroic mould. He was much the most handsome fellow born in living memory in Royals Bottom as handsome as any fellow born foreign outside, if it came to that but he remained Simple Simon. There he reclined on the bosom of the deep, remote from the world, alone in the great quiet with the lopsided moon and the dimmed stars, dreamy, the long lashes almost closing over eyes so darkly brown that they were nearly black, mind and muscles relaxed after all the tiresome fuss and bustle of the last forty-eight hours.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this captivating tale, a young man by the name of Simon Smith, known to his village as 'Simple Simon', embarks on a holiday adventure that takes an astounding turn. After a night of festivities, Simon unexpectedly finds himself lost at sea, left to the whims of the vast ocean. Facing the relentless forces of nature, Simon drifts for days, clinging to a rubber inner tube, his mind navigating the blurry line between reality and the surreal. As luck would have it, he is rescued by a luxurious yacht, the Stormalong, and its enigmatic occupants. The author explores the complexities of identity and belonging as Simon, taken for a long-lost son, is thrust into a world far removed from his humble village life. Amidst the opulence and privilege of the yacht, Simon grapples with the stark contrasts between his past and present, learning to navigate a society vastly different from his own. This thought-provoking and enchanting narrative delves into the human capacity for adaptation and the profound impact of circumstance on personal identity.
