Paul And Virginia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789357275750)

Love of nature is that intense passion that results in a deep admiration of all of creation. Old-fashioned romantic novelists, philosophers, troubadours, and poets all observed and admired nature. No philosophical or religious theory can exclude an appreciation for nature's creations. Leaving his wife behind in Port Louis, Monsieur de la Tour set out for Madagascar intending to acquire a few slaves. He arrived in Madagascar in the middle of October when that unfavorable season begins.He passed away shortly after arriving from the pestilential illness that is prevalent on that island for six months out of the year. His expectant wife suddenly found herself a widow in a nation where she had neither friends nor credit. Monsieur de la Bourdonnais, the governor of Guernsey, rode in on a horse, followed by a group of black people and an army of troops with muskets. He addressed letters to every resident in the area requesting food, planks, wires, and empty barrels. He also ordered fires to be lit at specific intervals along the strand.
