AUSTRALIA - GAMAS: The emigrants in the Southern Lands or the last chapter of a great revolution. With the citizen TOUBON, 1794. Booklet in-8, stapled, with a modern cover, 30 pages (scattered foxing). Through the evocation of a purely imaginary Australia, it is the order of the Old Regime which is questioned. The emigrants have to create from scratch a new society on a perfectly virgin land. Nobles and priests naturally wanted to preserve their privileges and recreate the society they had been forced to abandon. But the simple citizens, supported by the "Noble Savages" who inhabit the land, make the democratic point of view prevail. In all this, the reality of Australia does not have much place; it would be rather its unreality which counts, since it authorizes the writer to all the fantasies. Australia is like his white page: he has only to populate it with the signs which inspire him. (Australia 88) of the library A. Barthelemy library.
