«L’enfant de la haute mer» is the poetic tale by Jules Supervielle, published by Folio in paperback (160 pages, in French).
In the middle of the Atlantic there is a floating street where a girl lives; when a ship approaches, the village sinks and the girl falls asleep. One day, a cargo ship's siren draws from the girl a cry for help full of hope. The work is a poetic, dreamlike tale inspired by Supervielle's crossings between Europe and South America.
Number 252 in the Folio collection. The work was originally published in 1930.
For readers of French literature and students of French who want a short tale in the original version.
