Paris, chez l'Autheur ; Bruxelles, Lambert Marchant, 1682. 4 tomes in-12 reliés en 1 volume, [36]-239, 168, 166 [2], 216 p., plein veau brun de l'époque, dos à 4 nerfs orné de caissons dorés, ex-libris de la bibliothèque Nordkirche, qq. petits trous de vers restaurés, petit manque à la p. 3 (t.1) avec perte de quelques caractères. Célèbre utopie du 17è siècle qui se passe en AUSTRALIE. Voyage imaginaire en Australie, dont la première partie "History of Sevarites" fut publiée d'abord en anglais, à Londres en 1675. L'Histoire des Sévarambes est la plus achevée des utopies romanesques. Vairasse, huguenot français vivant à Londres, se présente comme l'éditeur du manuscrit du Capitaine Siden, ancien avocat, qui, après un nauvrage, aborde au pays Sévarambe, queque part dans les terres australes. Les Sévarambes vivent sous un régime politique idéal : l'héliocratie des Sévarambes, c'est en quelque sorte le prestige du Roi-Soleil plus la liberté de conscience. Avec de surcroit, pour le bonheur de tous, l'absence de propriété privée et de noblesse héréditaire (Utopie, Bnf 2000, p. 179-180). Cette oeuvre, assez hardie pour l'époque, fut proscrite en france. La vraisemblance du récit est obtenue par le recours à des récits de voyages réels, comme ceux de Pelsart, de Tavernier et de Garcilaso de la Véga (Barbier, II, 768 ; Versins, pp. 926-926 ; Trousseau, pp. 108-111 ; Robert, A Bibliography of Australia and the South Sea Islands, 918).
