  <default_description>In 1855, fleeing political persecution, Victor Hugo found sanctuary on the Isle of Guernsey, among the most historic and picturesque of the Channel Islands. The legends and lore of the islands sparked Hugo's imagination, resulting in one of his most unusual works. Setting mythical, romantic, and social themes against a backdrop of memorable descriptions, &lt;i&gt;The Toilers of the Sea&lt;/i&gt; is a novel of epic proportions, brought to light in a new Signet Classic edition.</default_description>
