Writer botanist great traveler in his early life political thinker Bernardin de Saint-Pierre achieved fame with his Etudes de la nature and Paul et Virginie a fable about the fall and misfortunes of virtue a poetic narrative whose protagonists' deaths establish a new theodicy regarding death and providence. It should be added that the Voyage à L'île de France is undoubtedly one of the journeys not only among the best written but also among the most finely observed.
