the adventures of the writer pirate ....

Grasset editions reissued in recent years in his pocket, a part of the work of Henry de Monfreid (28 volumes in 2011). Each book is numbered and has a cover decorated with an original drawing by Hugo Pratt Corto Maltese fired. Beautiful work!

However, the collection mixes a little while, autobiographical fiction books and novels, without respecting any numerological order. Admittedly Monfreid did not write his works either in a specific order. Also, for those like me who have devoured the adventures of pirate writer, I propose to put some order in all this rubbish classifying books in chronological order.

Henry de Monfreid happens in Africa in 1911, he is 32 and began working in Ethiopia for a coffee trader, hides and skins appointed Guignony ... The first exploits are described in the "leper". Following his adventures takes us until 1947; the writer at 68, it's time for him to think back to France ...
