A Sardinian student named Enric Descamps strikes up a relationship with a mute sailor who, in writing, tells him of his captivity in the galleys of Algerian pirates. The old man's account portrays the Mediterranean of the late 17th century: the harshness of the slave rowers, the feared Order of the Knights of Malta and the bandits who attacked merchants, as well as two love stories.
