| Summary | "Voyage autour du monde par la frégate du roi La Boudeuse et la flûte L'Étoile" by Louis Antoine de Bougainville is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This work narrates Bougainville's expedition, marking one of the first voyages around the world undertaken by a French naval officer. The primary focus of the text is on the voyage itself, detailing the challenges faced and the areas explored in the South Sea, while also celebrating the spirit of discovery. The opening of the narrative introduces the intent behind the voyage, noting that it is the first of its kind led by the French crown, amidst a backdrop of previous explorations by other nations. Bougainville expresses pride in French contributions to geography and science, setting the stage for his own expedition. He outlines the necessity of his mission, which is partly to establish French presence in the Malouines Islands and connect to further endeavors in the Indies. The text reflects on the historical significance of past explorers, establishing Bougainville’s journey not only as an adventure but also as a continuation of a legacy of exploration that has global implications.
