«Supplément au voyage de Bougainville» is the philosophical dialogue by Denis Diderot, published by Flammarion in paperback (148 pages, in French).
Two characters, A and B, discuss Bougainville's «Voyage autour du monde» and a supposed supplement to that account that questions the navigator's certainties. The text includes two central pieces: the farewell of an elderly Tahitian and the dialogue between a chaplain and Orou, where European morality and the customs of the island are confronted.
The edition belongs to the Étonnants Classiques collection, no. 2189, with introduction and dossier by Dominique Lanni; the original work appeared in 1773.
Suitable for students of literature or philosophy in a school setting, with dossier and introduction oriented toward analysis.
