Les Naufrages de dieu; Aventures d'un protestant et de ses compagnons exiles en deux iles desertes de l'ocean Indien 1690-1698
Paris: Phebus, 1995. Paperback. 203p., illustrated solely with the color cover facsimile of a very old map showing the islands in question. Softbound, an 8x5.5 inch paperback entirely in the French language. Structurally a sound pleasant copy, but expect holograph comment (in English) and underlines on pp.13, 14 and back cover, pointing up the possibility of an old and continuing fraud (no shipwreck, no marooning, original publisher uncertain), a critical mind at work with ballpoint pen. An attractive item but as is, per description. d'ailleurs - collection dirigee par Jean-PIerre Sicre.
