The narrative, presented through a young protagonist named Léonard, explores the life of sailors and the morally complex world of privateering during this period, focusing on the adventurous and often perilous experiences at sea.  The opening of the book introduces a young captain who, beset by an incurable disease, bequeaths his journal of privateering to Léonard, who had known him from childhood. As Léonard recounts his formative years in Brest, he details his desire to become a sailor, influenced by his father's ambitions, the rough camaraderie of the maritime community, and the lessons imparted by an irreverent mathematics teacher. The story then shifts to Léonard's first real adventure aboard the corsair "Sans-Façon", where he encounters various challenges and the harsh realities of maritime life, including a fierce battle against an enemy vessel. As he navigates his new world, both in danger and excitement, he also grapples with complex relationships, particularly with a character named Jacques, whose identity seems intertwined with Léonard's experiences on the sea.
