内容简介

This highly readable account opens a fascinating window - and a fresh perspective - on the early European exploration of Australia. These French explorers and scientists kept journals, many of which, until very recently, remained obscure and untranslated. Their cultural insights are invaluable, sometimes shocking and always engaging.
