About the author:
Born in 1947, Françoise Sylvestre is a journalist, writer, librarian and editor with a passion for the sea and travels. Passionate about navigation, she also had the opportunity to travel to San Blas, to stay in La Reunion, the Saints and St. Bartholomew, as well as in most of the Ponant Islands. First settled in Belle-Ile where she had created, in 1998, L'âme vagabonde, she transplanted her maritime bookstore, art gallery and publishing house in 2001 to l'Île-aux-Moines, in the Gulf of Morbihan, where she now lives and engages in writing.


About the book: Robert Louis Stevenson, Les chemins de la liberté
Man of letters, novelist, poet, adventurer, born in Edinburgh, Robert Louis Stevenson was an exceptional traveller and remains a committed and sensitive travelling companion. Fragile child from the Scottish Puritan bourgeoisie, rebellious adult, citizen of the world dedicated to the defence of oppressed peoples, throughout his life the author of Treasure Island and a thousand other stories have never ceased to criss-cross seas and continents in search of freedom. Freedom to think, live and love.
