Michael Kensuk\u00e9 Ogawa Stella Artois, German shepherd and Michael female dog Michael’s parents Orangutans and Gibbons Animal hunters poachers MICHIYA, Fils de Kensuk\u00e9 The novel is made up of eighteen chapters and a post-scriptum.  Michael lives with his parents in Great Britain. One day, his father and mother receive a letter to tell them that they are dismissed from the Briqueterie factory and lose all hope of finding a job related to their skills. With the dismissal compensation and the fruit of the sale of the family vehicle, Michael’s father, approved by the mother, decides to buy a boat named Peggy Sue And go around the world. This is how the September 10, 1987 , Michael embarks with his parents and their German shepherd dog, Stella Artois, on the sailboat Peggy Sue In order to make a long maritime journey. Michael was then 11 years old. Leaving Great Britain, they cross the Atlantic, go off the coast of Sainte-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, descend to the Cap de Bonne-Esp\u00e9rance, head for Australia. After discovering these places and lived unforgettable stops, they head for the Pacific Ocean. During a terrible thunderstorm, the July 28, 1988 , Michael and Stella Artois are projected out of the boat and escape certain death by scrapping on an island located nearby. Michael finds refuge in a cave. The next day, Stella is not with him, so that he will look outside. Stella is drinking water in a bowl. Nearby are a fish and bananas. The following days, Michael and his dog receive drinking and eating. Michael understands that someone else lives on the small island. A few days after the sinking, Michael sees a ship in the distance and decides to light a fire to alert sailors. The fire lit, he will look for wood and coming back, he sees an old man who is turning off the fire. This man is Kensuk\u00e9, a small and old Asian, anxious by the discovery that a human resides on the island. He does not wish to make his existence known to the world. In the early days, Michael has difficulty communicating with man, who speaks English badly. Over the weeks and months, the child and the old man “tame” each other and become friends. Kensuk\u00e9 calls the child under the affectionate pseudonym of \u00abMicasan\u00bb And he learns to fish and paint on all kinds of surfaces (wood, shellfish, etc.), while Michael teaches him rudiments of English and tells him about his past life in the West. One evening, Kensuk\u00e9 reveals his past to the boy. About 30 years old in 1945 at the end of the Second World War and then a military doctor, he learned that the Japanese city of Nagasaki had been destroyed by the atomic weapon. All his family, namely his wife Kimi and their child Michiya, lived there: he was now alone in the world. Shortly after, his ship had shipwrecked, and like Michael, he had managed to approach on the island. For 43 years, Kensuk\u00e9 has therefore lived alone on the island, feeding on fish, crabs and various tropical fruits. He never tried to draw attention to him and never tried to attract ships in order to be able to return to Japan where he had no more ties. He lives serenely with his friends the orangutans. One day, Michael sees a junk and is about to light a distress fire, but Kensuk\u00e9 holds it because the boat is filled with bandits which have already, in the past, accosted on the island to kill or take hold of Gibbons. Having spying them, Kensuk\u00e9 therefore knows their wickedness and greed. Kensuk\u00e9 trains Michael and the orangutans in a hidden cave. The bandits come to the island but find no monkey to kill. Several weeks are happening. Michael again sees a white ship in the distance, near the horizon line. This is not the boat of bandits. Kensuk\u00e9 agrees to light a fire. Looking with the twins, Michael notes that the ship is controlled by his parents. The reunion between the lost son and the parents took place: if the father had lost all hope, however the mother had never abandoned the hope of finding her child. Invited by Michael to embark to return to Japan, Kensuk\u00e9 gives up leaving the island. He explains that he has no family in Japan, that no one is waiting for him and that he prefers to live his end of life on the island, with his friends the orangutans. The old man specifies: \u201cMy world is here. I thought of all this for a long time. If Kimi is alive, if Michiya is alive, then they think I have been dead for a long time. I would be like a ghost if I came home. I am no longer the same person. They are no longer the same. And in addition, I have a family here, family of Orang-Outans. Maybe the killers still come. Who will take care of them then? No, I stay on my island. My place is here. It is the kingdom of Kensuk\u00e9. Emperor must remain in his kingdom, take care of his people. Emperor does not run away. It is not an honorable thing. Kensuk\u00e9 also asks Michael not to talk about him and the island for the next ten years. Years go by and, who has become an adult, Michael publishes his story to honor the memory of Japanese. Four years after the publication of his book, he then received a letter from Michiya Ogawa, Kensuk\u00e9’s son, offering to come and see him in Japan to evoke the memory of his father. Man explains that when the atomic bomb had destroyed Nagasaki in August 1945 , the wife of Kensuk\u00e9 and their child, Michiya, were not in the city, having gone to greet family members far from it. Michiya’s mother died three years ago, and Michiya was moved by the testimony presented by Michael. When the latter goes to see Japanese, he discovers that man laughs exactly like his father.
