The Wine-dark Sea
How does Maturin describe Monsieur Jean Dutourd in the novel, The Wine-dark Sea?
.
.
Dutourd is described by Maturin as a "Frenchman with enthusiastic visionary notions about an ideal community...[with] no Church, no King, no laws, no money, everything held in common, perfect peace and justice" (p. 195), all unfortunately established by the wholesale slaughter of the natives living on the island of Moahu, the presumed location of Dutourd's ideal society.
