30 ADVENTURERS’ DESTINIES

“30 Destins d’aventuriers” | Victoria Jacob & Emmanuelle Halgand | Paulsen Jeunesse | 136pp | 19 x 25 cm

For boys and girls who dream of exploring the world.

From the Sahara desert to the farthest reaches of Asia to flying over the poles, there are many men and women who have chosen a life that is sometimes risky, but always passionate! Some have broken records, others have saved animals or paved the way for phenomenal scientific discoveries, but all the heroines and heroes in this album have one thing in common: they have followed their childhood dream. From Jessica Watson, who set out at the age of 16 to sail solo around the world, to Aliénor Le Gouvello, who crossed Australia on horseback in 2015, or Jane Goodall, who went to live in the jungle to observe chimpanzees, the female characters in this album have nothing to envy of the journeys made in balloons, on dromedaries or at the foot of volcanoes by Jean-Louis Étienne, Wilfred Thesiger, Haroun Tazieff or Paul-Émile Victor.

These are just some of the fates and experiences that will help us discover the world and explore the planet through the eyes of unforgettable figures who devoted themselves wholeheartedly to adventure.30 portraits of historical moments and wide-open spaces for young readers eager for thrills
