More about the book
The narrative follows François Péron, an ambitious medical student who joined Nicolas Baudin's 1800 expedition to Australia as an assistant zoologist. As Péron navigated challenges, including the deaths and desertions of colleagues, he ascended the ranks and authored the expedition's official account, aiming to tarnish Baudin's legacy. Duyker's biography explores Péron's scientific contributions and the complex dynamics of their relationship while providing a rich historical context that spans pre-revolutionary France to the tumultuous era of Napoleon.
