Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. Broché, 257 pages. 21,5x13,5 cm. Deux traces d'étiquette au dos sinon comme neuf. ** Résumé : En 1774, un jeune homme de la bonne société d'Edimbourg, Alexander Schaw, affrète un navire pour rejoindre la petite île de Saint-Christophe, aux Antilles, où il doit prendre ses fonctions dans l'administration des douanes. Il emmène avec lui sa soeur Janet, et cette femme intelligente, vive et spirituelle, va tenir tout au long du parcours, jusqu'à son retour en Europe et une escale au Portugal, un journal minutieux, sous la forme de lettres adressées à un correspondant resté en Ecosse. Ce récit simple et direct, mais dont l'auteur ne se prive pas, à l'occasion, de réfléchir sur les événements qu'elle traverse, nous plonge allègrement dans les péripéties inattendues de la croisière transatlantique - immigrants clandestins, violentes tempêtes qui provoquent un manque de vivres, passage du Tropique, etc. -, nous fait toucher la réalité de la vie ordinaire des esclaves aussi bien que de celle des colons à l'apogée du développement du commerce sucrier, comme elle nous jette sans ménagement parmi la société troublée des colonies américaines de la Couronne britannique, au moment précis où se manifestent les premiers soubresauts d'une révolte qui conduira, quelques années plus tard, à leur indépendance. Grâce à la personnalité exceptionnelle de son auteur, qui sait à la fois voir et faire voir, ce Journal d'une personne de qualité, retrouvé par hasard en 1904 et publié en 1921 aux Etats-Unis, entraîne le lecteur dans un voyage et un récit d'un intérêt constant (aussi bien du point de vue historique que littéraire), remplis d'aventures variées, mais aussi riches d'enseignements.…
