«Les marins perdus» is the novel by Jean-Claude Izzo, published by J'ai lu in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The novel follows three sailors —the Lebanese Abdul Aziz, the Greek Diamantis and the Turk Nedim— who are stranded in Marseille when their ship, the Aldebarán, is abandoned by the shipowner. Forced into immobility, their stories surface while Diamantis searches for a woman loved in the past; the port is the setting for their last adventure.
The original edition was published in 1997 and this J'ai lu paperback edition appeared in 1999.
Aimed at readers of crime fiction and contemporary French narrative, with the Mediterranean and exile as backdrop.
Jean-Claude Izzo was a French poet, playwright, screenwriter, and novelist who achieved sudden fame in the mid-1990s with the publication of his three neo-noir crime novels Total Chaos, Chourmo, and Solea, featuring as protagonist ex-cop Fabio Montale, and set in the author's native city of Marseille. All have been translated into English by Howard Curtis.
