Original novel by Loti; librettist either Tiercelin or composer and Tiercelin (with any good opera/incidental music composer, one suspects that collaboration was a given if at all possible anyway...) (this from subsection of French Wikipedia article on the original (Loti) Pêcheur d'islande.)
1889-91 is the date given on several sites for the suite: "1889-1891, Pêcheur d’Islande, Suite pour orchestre ; musique de scène pour la pièce Pierre Loti et Louis Tiercelin (réduction piano quatre mains et chant par le compositeur)"
