Internally clean and fine a few leaves with marginal brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First edition of this famous circumnavigation being the first voyage around the world with professional naturalists and geographers onboard. Bougainville was the first Frenchman to sail around the world. In 1771 Bougainville published his travel log from the expedition under the title "Le voyage autour du monde par la frégate La Boudeuse et la flûte L'Étoile". The book describes the geography biology and anthropology of Argentina then a Spanish colony Patagonia Tahiti and Indonesia then a Dutch colony. The book was a sensation especially the description of Tahitian society. Bougainville described it as an earthly paradise where men and women lived in blissful innocence far from the corruption of civilisation.Bougainville's descriptions powerfully expressed the concept of the noble savage influencing the utopian thoughts of philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau before the advent of the French Revolution. Denis Diderot's book Supplément au voyage de Bougainville retells the story of Bougainville's landing on Tahiti narrated by an anonymous reader to one of his friends. Diderot used his fictional approach including a description of the Tahitians as noble savages to criticise Western ways of living and thinking.Sabin 6864. </em> unknown

Narrative of Bougainville's voyage to South America across the Pacific Ocean through the East Indies on onward to France. This voyage was the first French circumnavigation around the world. The success of this voyage caused increased French interest in the islands of South Pacific. Bougainville was sent from France to colonize the Falkland Islands. The first part of this work describes the Falkland Islands including its natural history and the French colony there and the author's visits to Montevideo Paraguay and Rio de Janeiro. Bougainville sailed through the Strait of Magellan and across the Pacific to Tahiti. There are several chapters on his visit to Tahiti. Also included is a list of Tahitian vocabulary. He then sailed to the East Indies where he extensively describes his visits to the Moluccas Borneo and Batavia. "The largest island in the Solomons and two straits in the Pacific bear his Bougainville's name and the tropical flowering vine called bougainvillea was also named for him." Hill 163.

1771166666Paris: Saillant & Nyon 1771. A wealth of scientific and geographical detail about the Pacific Ocean First edition of this account of the first French circumnavigation. Bougainville travelled to the Falkland Islands in 1766 to formally deliver the French settlement to Spain continuing into the Pacific and around the world. The clandestine passenger Jeanne Baret disguised as a man became the first woman on record to have circumnavigated the globe. Louis Antoine de Bougainville 1729-1811 studied law but abandoned it to join the army as a musketeer in 1753 serving in the Seven Years War. He was later appointed commander of the frigate La Boudeuse and the transport L'Étoile setting sail in December 1766. He entered the Pacific in 1768 and landed on Tahiti claiming it for France unaware of the visit of Samuel Wallis nine months earlier. On Tahiti it was discovered that the botanist's valet was a woman Jeanne Baret who enlisted as Jean Baret. The ships continued due west through Samoa and the New Hebrides eventually making the first recorded European sighting of the Great Barrier Reef. Turning north 100 miles from the coast of Queensland he passed through New Guinea to the Solomon Islands proceeding thence to the Moluccas where the Dutch allowed him to refit. Bougainville carried on to Djakarta and Mauritius and then home to St Malo. He was in Buenos Aires when the order of the expulsion of the Jesuits of Paraguay arrived which he describes in detail. Bougainville's name is given to the largest member of the Solomon Islands and to the strait which divides it from the British Island of Choiseul. It is also applied to the strait between Mallicollo and Espiritu Santo Islands of the New Hebrides group as well as to the South American climbing plant Bougainvillea. The book is notable for the influential description of Tahiti which Bougainville christened New Cythera after the abode of Aphrodite. "It is difficult to overstate the importance of the discovery of Tahiti on the European imagination of the context of utopian projections seemingly becoming real. Tahiti rapidly permeated European mythology" Arthur p. 82. His description of Tahiti and other South Sea islands also includes a 300-word vocabulary. Bougainville's account of the Tahitians followed the lead of thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau who was "popularizing the idea of the natural man in Europe. Denis Diderot inspired by Bougainville drew upon Rousseu's ideal of a natural state of humanity in his Supplement au voyage de Bougainville a work that can be understood as a commentary on colonialism" ibid. p. 82.

The purpose of this expedition was to explore the Pacific especially the Australian coast and New Guinea to examine the geographical and ecological conditions for economic benefit and to extend the influence of the French crown by seizing land. From an economic point of view the journey was not very successful but in Europe the description of Tahiti shaped the image of the island as a paradise where people seem to live free of constraints. Bouganville's travelogue became a bestseller that spread throughout Europe and the myth of the South Seas continues to inspire philosophers artists and writers to this day.</p> Saillant & Nyon hardcover
