Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-This slim volume about Maldives was written by the author during his five years stay in those islands, as a result of being ship-wrecked there. Nevertheless, Pyrard took pains to learn the local Dhivehi language. By doing so he was able to achieve an insight into Maldivian society never before experienced by a European. He took extensive notes regarding Dhivehi culture, customs and history. The author presents a lively and personal account, and offers vivid, and often amusing, description of many of the islands' aspects, some of which are: the geography and topography, people and their customs and manners, the trade, the produce, the system of government, etc. The time spanning this narrative is from circa 1601 to 1606 AD. About the Author:-François Pyrard de Laval was a French navigator who is remembered for a personal written account of his adventures in the Maldives Islands from 1602 to 1607, which was part of a ten-year sojourn (16011611) in South Asia, et al. He was a native of Laval, and was a cousin to theologian Pierre Pyrard (15811667). On July 2, 1602 Pyrard and a handful of sailors were shipwrecked on South Maalhosmadulu Atoll of the Maldives. They were taken captive by the Maldivians and spent five years as 'unwilling guests' on the islands, with most of the time spent on Malé. The sailors endured malaria and sporadic cruel treatment during their captivity.

On his escape to Goa he continued his cultural investigations in Portuguese India, before returning to France by way of Saint Helena and Brazil in 1611. His book, which included practical advice for French traders travelling to Asia and a phrase book for visitors to the Maldives, was an immediate success. This three-volume translation of the 1619 edition appeared in 1887-1890.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Saint-Malo, 18 mai 1601. Un jeune homme de Laval s'embarque sur le Corbin pour les Indes orientales. Il en reviendra dix ans plus tard, après avoir fait presque le tour du monde et survécu à tout. Le naufrage le jette d'abord sur les récifs des Maldives, où il restera cinq ans captif d'un roi insulaire, apprenant la langue, observant la cour, la justice et les coutumes d'un archipel de douze mille îles.Puis tout s'enchaîne : l'invasion venue du Bengale qui lui rend la liberté, les rois nayres du Malabar et leurs castes guerrières, l'arrestation à Cochin et la prison, la tour aux fers, Goa la dorée et ses cachots, les îles aux épices des Moluques, enfin le long retour par le cap de Bonne-Espérance, le Brésil et la Galice. De ces dix années d'épreuves, ballotté de geôle en geôle et de naufrage en captivité, François Pyrard rapporte bien plus qu'un récit d'aventures.C'est la première description française de l'océan Indien vu de l'intérieur, une encyclopédie sensible des hommes, des bêtes et des arbres. Pyrard détaille la religion et la justice des Maldives, le rythme des moussons qui ouvre et ferme les mers, les monnaies de coquillages et les larins d'argent, le cocotier qui nourrit, habille, abrite et désaltère, les navires cousus de fibre sans un seul clou de fer. Il s'attarde sur les épices, les éléphants de guerre et les arbres prodigieux du continent indien. Pyrard n'est ni le conquérant ni le marchand : il est le naufragé, le captif, celui qui regarde ce monde depuis le bas, mêlé aux peuples dont il dépend pour survivre. De là vient la curiosité patiente, presque sans mépris, qui le rend aujourd'hui encore étonnamment proche.Premier Français à raconter ce monde de l'intérieur, Pyrard signe l'un des plus saisissants témoignages de l'âge des grandes traversées, à mi-chemin du journal de bord, de l'enquête ethnographique et du récit de survie.Première réécriture intégrale moderne pour le lecteur d'aujourd'hui, qui rend enfin lisible ce récit de naufrage et de captivité sans rien trahir du voyage. Vingt illustrations originales et huit cartes du voyage donnent à voir l'itinéraire, tandis qu'un appareil de repères (glossaire des termes d'époque, chronologie, index des personnages et postface) et des morceaux choisis du texte original éclairent la lecture.…
