General history of travel, Abbé Prevost 1746.The general history of travel is a sum at the border of the travelogue and the historical, geographical and even anthropological treatise. Father Prévost carries out a work of “reduction” on the travelogues compiled by John Green: he translates them, cuts and harmonizes them, adds historical links and other stories, until creating a system where everything fits together. This library in twenty volumes reflects the knowledge of the cultivated man of the XVIIIe century. Great success with his contemporaries, this company is also supported by the royal power, which continues to expand its commercial network throughout the world.
