Omschrijving

Second edition (first ed. 1744) of this fictional account of travels through Africa, Asia and the Americas. It was presented as a translation by Abbé Prévost from the English, but there is no English edition known. It was considered an authoritative source for two centuries, with Buffon, d'Alembert and Jules Verne all quoting from the book, until it was proved to be a pastiche in 1939. Despite Robert Lade being a fictional character, Prévost wrote a reliable travel account based on numerous genuine sources.
