5.0 out of 5 stars Classic adventure tale, December 10, 2001
By A Customer
This book details the life of a shipping investor shipwrecked off Australia's coast in the early 1800s. He struggles with loneliness, develops relations with indigenous peoples, weds an aboriginal wife, has children -- and all the while tries to find his way back to "civilization."

de Rougemont uses clear, inviting, inventive language to describe his triumphs and losses. No hidden meanings or complicated subtexts here; just a ripping good yarn based on this fellow's endless adventures. And no analytical coldness or floods of facts, either -- this guy lived fully and completely on every level and conveyed his triumphs and disappointments stoutly and directly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great story - terrible edition, September 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is indeed a ripping yarn, but the ADVENTURES OF LOUIS DE ROUGEMONT has been mangled by the publisher, "Quill Pen Classics".

Everything meant to be italicized from the original text appears here with an underscore before and after each word. The text is ugly to look at and appears to be poorly mimeographed.

I won't be ordering any more books from this publisher and I'd warn away anyone else. Find another edition somewhere else. Hopefully another publisher can do this fascinating (if untrue) story it's justice in print. It's in the public domain, after all (which is probably why it's been so shamefully reproduced here).
