Dans cet ouvrage captivant, Andr Bellessort retrace l' pop e h ro que et tragique de Jean-Fran ois de Galaup, comte de "La P rouse", l'un des plus illustres navigateurs fran ais du XVIIIe si cle. travers un r cit riche en d tails historiques, l'auteur explore les pr paratifs et le d roulement de la grande exp dition scientifique et de d couverte ordonn e par Louis XVI.

Le livre d peint avec pr cision l'ambition d'une France d sireuse de parfaire la connaissance du globe, en suivant le sillage de "La P rouse" travers les mers du Sud, les c tes de l'Alaska, la Californie et les rivages myst rieux de l'Asie. Bellessort ne se contente pas de relater les faits maritimes; il brosse le portrait d'un homme de devoir, empreint de l'esprit des Lumi res, dont la disparition myst rieuse Vanikoro a fascin des g n rations de chercheurs et de po tes. "La P rouse" constitue une tude approfondie sur les d fis de la navigation au si cle des explorations et sur l'h ritage durable laiss par cet officier de marine exemplaire. Ce r cit demeure une r f rence incontournable pour quiconque s'int resse l'histoire des grandes d couvertes et au destin singulier de ceux qui ont repouss les fronti res du monde connu.
