«Le dernier mousse» is the adventure novel by Chilean writer Francisco Coloane, published by Seuil in 1998 as a French-language paperback.
The novel recounts the initiation of a young cabin boy aboard a whaler in the southern seas. Between the harshness of navigation, the risks of whaling and the camaraderie of the crew, the adventure becomes a reflection on human nature and on humanity's relationship with the sea.
The work was originally published in 1941 under the title «El último grumete de la Baquedano»; this French edition translates that title.
Readers interested in adventure fiction, sea literature, and coming-of-age stories.
