Sur la côte désolée du Labrador, face au Grand Mécatina, une famille de pêcheurs mène une vie frugale et unie: le père Labarou, le fils Arthur, le cousin Gaspard, mère Hélène et Mimie. Leur existence se règle au passage du hareng, de la morue et du maquereau, et au va-et-vient saisonnier d’une goélette de cabotage. Mais sur ce rivage âpre, où la fortune des jours dépend du vent et des filets, l’équilibre peut vaciller d’un instant à l’autre.

Dans le fracas d’un coup de vent d’équinoxe, un ballon emporté au-dessus du Pacifique descend, lest jeté par-dessus bord, jusqu’à frôler les vagues. Naufragés de l’air, ses passagers—dont un certain Cyrus—sont précipités vers l’inconnu. Sur une île que nul atlas ne nomme, il faut tout réinventer. Ingéniosité, entraide et courage deviennent lois de survie, tandis que la nature, à la fois généreuse et menaçante, impose ses règles. Et bientôt, au cœur de ce monde neuf, les questions se multiplient: que cache cette terre, jusqu’où mèneront leurs explorations?

Parti de Bordeaux vers Montevideo et Buenos Aires, l’Eldorado emporte, dans ses flancs d’acier, un monde en réduction: ambitieux en quête d’or, exilés en mal d’oubli, innocents happés par la promesse d’une rive neuve.

Entre houles et escales, la mer éprouve les âmes autant que les corps, et chaque regard devient pari, chaque rencontre, détour du destin.

In the whole history of the English people there is no period so absolutely heroic, so full of enthralling interest, as that in which the might of England made itself apparent by land and sea—the period which saw good Queen Bess mistress of English hearts and Englishmen and sovereign of the great beginnings which came to such a magnificent fruition under Victoria. That was indeed a golden time—an age of great venture and enterprise—a period wherein men’s hearts were set on personal valor and bravery—the day of great deeds and of courage most marvelous.
