"Voyage autour du monde par la frégate du roi La Boudeuse et la flûte L'Étoile" by Louis Antoine de Bougainville is a travel journal published in 1771. It chronicles the first French circumnavigation of the globe from 1766 to 1769. Bougainville led an expedition with scientists and explorers through the Atlantic, the Strait of Magellan, and across Pacific islands including Tahiti. His vivid descriptions of Tahitian society—portrayed as pleasure-seeking and free from
labor's tyranny—captivated Enlightenment readers and inspired Diderot's philosophical response. The account details life aboard ship, indigenous encounters, and colonial observations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
