Over de kunstenaar

Le Blanc (ca. 1553-ca. 1633), born in Marseille, took to sea for the Middle East at age fourteen and sailed all over the world for 64 years. His itinerary Les voyages fameux was published in Paris in 1648, describing Le Blanc’s travels through Persia (Iran), Arabia, Burma (Myanmar), the East Indies, and in the second part Morocco, Guinea, the African interior, the Cape, Constantinople (Istanbul), the Middle East, North and South America and even China. His stories, a mixture of his experiences with fantasy, were revised for the press by Pierre Bergeron. He and the author present them in an entertaining manner.
