Résumé

"In 1810, John James Audubon embarks on his first voyage of discovery on the Mississippi. What is the goal of this man destined for a turbulent end? To discover and paint all the birds of the continent. For JJ Audubon is a great painter, but also a real adventurer, because he wants to see the animals in their own environment to better portray how they live. This is the wild world of America that he faces at the start of the nineteenth century in a real naturalist western, beautifully portrayed by the authors.The true story of the scientist of French origin and a naturalized American, who joined the National Pantheon. There are countless schools named after him in the United States; the National Audubon Society is the largest environmental protection institution.A tumultuous life: bankruptcies, prison, a trip to Europe to finance his reproduction charts. Audubon is a greater than fiction character, with his surprising contradictions (though he paints the birds, he does not hesitate to slaughter them)."
