«La promesse des îles» is the historical essay by Hélène Guiot, published by Le Télégramme in paperback (40 pages, in French).
Reconstruction of the Polynesian epic: how they populated the Pacific without charts or instruments, guided by stars and swell. Explains the double-hulled vessels, the oral transmission of nautical knowledge and the reasons that led families to seek new lands. It comes from an exhibition at the Corderie Royale in Rochefort.
The cover mentions the collection «Les carnets de la Corderie Royale» and the Centre International de la Mer.
A work for readers interested in maritime history, Pacific cultures and traditional navigation techniques.
