«Je suis dans les mers du Sud: sur les traces de Paul Gauguin» is Jean-Luc Coatalem's travel narrative, in paperback (314 pages, in French).
A sepia portrait of an Anglo-Polynesian bought at auction leads the author to follow in Paul Gauguin's footsteps. The book combines biography, research, and travel chronicle through Brittany, Holland, Denmark, Panama, Martinique, Tahiti, and the South Seas, and asks about the real Gauguin, his contradictions, and the exoticism of his legend.
«Je suis dans les mers du Sud» won the Prix Amerigo Vespucci in 2001; the original edition appeared that year and this edition is from 2003.
Aimed at adult readers interested in Paul Gauguin's biography, the history of painting, and travel narratives.
