Résumé :

La Peyrouse is a Dutch-language drama by August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue, a prolific German dramatist and writer. The play centers on the historical figure of Jean-Fran?ois de Galaup, comte de Lap?rouse, a French naval officer and explorer whose expedition vanished in the Pacific Ocean.

This edition offers readers the opportunity to engage with 18th-century Dutch theater and experience Kotzebue's dramatic interpretation of a significant historical event. The play provides insight into the cultural and historical context of the time, reflecting the fascination with exploration and the anxieties surrounding the unknown.
