Jérôme 60° latitude nord

The narrative follows Jérôme, a young man whose exuberant imagination turns brief sights into romantic fantasies as he travels to northern landscapes. Anticipation and memory mingle with sensory detail—food, music, keepsakes—while sea crossings and port encounters puncture and reshape his idealized visions of fjords and local life. Encounters with loquacious strangers and episodes of comic misunderstanding alternate with wistful reverie, examining how longing and imagination bend perception during travel and artistic aspiration.
