Item Details

Description

[La Perouse, J.F.G. de]
Ontdekkingen in de Zuidzee, en berichten aangaande De la Pérouse en zijne tochtgenoten, opgemaakt uit sporen van zijne reis, op onderscheidene eilanden en landen der Stille Zee gevonden; alsmede aangaande een groot eiland thans door Fransche Vluchtelingen bevolkt. Uit het Fransch vertaald.
Haarlem, F. Bohn, 1799
Dutch translation of the imaginary Decouvertes dans la mer de sud.
"The disappearance of La Perouse led to intense speculation in France, and many writers used the mystery as the catalyst for fantastic Utopian accounts of the crew's possible survival in the South Seas. This work claims to be printed from a letter written by a French traveller who, in 1793, joins a Portuguese expedition of four vessels to the South Seas. Although much of the book is dedicated to the description of a Utopian community composed of refugees from the French Revolution and the Terror, it also sets out to explain the mysterious disappearance of La Pérouse, missing since at least 1790." (Imaginary Voyages).
Very rare complete copy.
