À propos de ce contenu audio

 In Rover, we meet the weary and reflective Peyrol, an elderly ex-privateer who, burdened by his past, is compelled by an impulsive mix of scorn and magnanimity to embark on a dangerously audacious scheme. His goal? To deceive Admiral Nelson into lifting his blockade of the French coast during the tumultuous Napoleonic Wars. Set against the haunting backdrop of a politically motivated massacre in Toulon in 1793, this poignant tale explores the deep scars left on a small community and its inhabitants. Written towards the end of Conrads life, and shortly after the Great War—a conflict that personally touched him through his sons service—this narrative delves into the psychological toll of trauma, the burdens of redemption, and the high cost of our choices.
