Un Jeune marin à peine sorti d'une adolescence rêveuse fait escale à Valparaiso vers la fin des années cinquante. Port mythique, vénéré par les marins du monde entier, célèbre pour ses légendes, ses chansons, sa proximité relative avec le cap Horn, ses navires, ses escaliers entremêlés, ses ruelles labyrinthes, ses ascenseurs rouillés, ses bordels crasseux, la ville est aussi une sorte de piège, un bout du monde où l'exil et l'esprit d'aventure sont poussés à l'extrême, une expérience à sens unique dont on ne ressort pas indemne. A quai ou agrippé à l'échine des vagues, le héros de ce roman laisse derrière lui de formidables moments de vie, un sillage grouillant et étourdissant, une porte ouverte sur l'univers des sens. Il ne reste plus an lecteur qu'à s'embarquer pour partager cette course des tropiques.
