The Prospector by J. M. G. Le Clezio
A lyrical, atmospheric tale set on a sun-drenched island, following a solitary man whose life becomes a quest for a legendary shipwreck’s treasure and for the woman he loved; the narrative drifts between memory and the present, tracing his wanderings along beaches, mangroves and sugarcane fields while evoking the sea, colonial history and the stubborn persistence of longing, obsession and the search for identity in a landscape that is itself a character.
