A collection of three accounts of Peril, Adventure and Captivity in
the 18th and 19th century: "The Sufferings of the Picard Family
after the Shipwreck of the Medusa in the Year 1816" Tells the story
of survivors of the the French naval frigate Meduse, which ran
aground off the coast of today's Mauritania on July 5, 1816. At
least 147 people were set adrift on a hurriedly constructed raft;
all but 15 died in the 13 days before their rescue, and those who
survived endured starvation, dehydration, cannibalism and madness.
"The Captivity of M. De Brisson 1785" tells of a shipwrecked
survivor and his captivity among the natives of the western coast
of Africa. "Voyage of Madame Godin Along the River of the Amazons
1770" changes the scene from Africa to South America where the
adventures, perils and escapes of Madame Godin along the Amazon
River are recounted.
