This is how the Hirondelle, armed with six cannons, carrying Leguat and his companions, left Amsterdam on July 10, 1690.\u003cbr\u003eTold in the first person, this story describes the journey of these Huguenots, driven out of France by the revocation, which was marked by many adventures: a two-year stay on the small, then deserted island of Rodrigue, a perilous crossing on a makeshift boat to Mauritius, conflict with the Dutch authorities and deportation to a tiny islet off the coast of Mauritius, escape attempts and finally deliverance after nearly three years of painful captivity...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book is a travel story without equivalent among the adventure books of the 17th century.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndeed, it has given rise to much debate and research, among publishers, scientists and historians, since its release until today. \u003cstrong\u003eJean-Michel Racault, Alfred North-Coombes, Geoffroy Atkinson, Captain Pasfield Oliver, Th.

For his detractors like Atkinson, certain reinterpretations and descriptions have given the idea of a story, which in reality, never existed. For him, thanks to the adventures of Leguat, we would have imagined imaginary birds that disappeared for two centuries.\u003cbr\u003e[...] \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSir Alfred Newton, explorer and naturalist, in an article on the extinction of marine mammals, is quoted as saying: \"Where are the dugongs of Rodriguez, so charmingly described by Leguat? Extinct!\" Renowned 19th century naturalists went so far as to give a bird described in Francois Leguat's Voyage the euphonious title of \"Erythromachus Leguati\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\".(3)\u003cbr\u003eWhile Atkinson points out real hoaxes with very interesting comparative bibliographical studies, North-Coombes shows us that plagiarisms are less numerous than he says and that the descriptions on the island of Rodrigue are accurate and unpublished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are certainly dealing here with a real travel story experienced by François Leguat and his companions but which has undergone developments, additions and inventions in order to make it more attractive and give the story a more solid literary structure.

Leguat's story is one of them. As a novel written in 1707, often reprinted and considered an essentially true story, after two hundred years it is perhaps without equal.

As Printer to the King, he worked with celebrated authors of the time such as Louise Labé and Joachim du Bellay. In 1557, he published La métamorphose d'Ovid figurée, consisting of 178 eight-line stanzas (huitains) composed by the poet Barthélemy Aneau based on the Metamorphoses, accompanied by 178 engravings by the illustrator Bernard Salomon; he issued a reprint in 1564.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn La métamorphose d'Ovid figurée, Barthélemy Aneau, Bernard Salomon, and Jean de Tournes transcribe the core of Ovid's work, where the theme of transition and change of state is dominant. Daphne turned into a laurel tree, Actaeon metamorphosed into a stag... Salomon freezes on a fixed piece of wood the precise moment a human being becomes a plant, a rock, or an animal. He also succeeds in integrating deep landscapes, Renaissance architecture with vanishing perspectives, and turbulent skies using microscopically fine networks of hatching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJean de Tournes \"the Younger\", a Huguenot Protestant, was forced to leave Lyon for Geneva in 1585, fleeing the tensions and violent repressions stemming from the religious conflicts between Protestants and Catholics (Lyon having fallen under Catholic control at that time). The 1583 edition was certainly one of the last from the de Tournes dynasty printed in the capital of the Gones. The mention \"Imprimeur du Roy\" (Printer to the King) on the title page, which does not appear on the 1557 edition (but does on the 1564 one), lays claim to the honorary title from his father's glorious past. Does Jean de Tournes the Younger leave here the trace of a moving and vain attempt at protection?

While it denounces the massacres and defends the native populations, it is also a political text. Las Casas had to navigate treacherous waters, as he denounced gold-hungry compatriots who were nonetheless acting in the name of the Spanish Crown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe denounces the massacres and also defends the Native Americans, describing them as gentle, good beings, somewhat naive children devoid of any malice and fit to discover the Christian religion. This can be seen as a sincere analysis, but also as a way to protect them by declaring that they would make perfect Christians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, this book also served as a propaganda tool for late 17th-century France; it is no coincidence that the first translation of Las Casas arrived nearly 150 years later in this specific format. Through clever rhetoric, the foreword states, \"in some places, things that appeared too cruel and might have distressed delicate persons have been softened,\" implying, \"it was even worse than the horrors described.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe year 1697 was a watershed year for Europe. It marked the end of the War of the League of Augsburg, which pitted France against a massive coalition that included Spain. In September 1697, the Treaty of Ryswick was signed. Under this treaty, Spain officially recognized France's possession of the western part of the island of Hispaniola, which would become Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti). Las Casas's text describes precisely the destruction of the indigenous populations by the Spaniards... in Hispaniola.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the perfect demonstration that bibliophilia provides a multi-dimensional vision of history. It embodies what our era perceives of Las Casas and the Spanish conquest, it embodies the political and ideological struggle of Las Casas, and it also represents a propaganda tool for France at the end of the 17th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eA few traces of soiling and oxidation on the pastedown, on three internal pages, and on the final leaf.
