About the Book

L'Ile d'Agnès est le récit autobiographique de l'itinéraire hors du commun d'un Breton du 19ème siècle. Qui est vraiment Jacques Guillou ? Audiernais, élevé en Cornouaille dans les remous du premier empire, il quitte sa terre natale et débarque à Valparaiso au début du XIX siècle. Il dit y rencontrer par un hasard extraordinaire l'illustre Général José de San Martin pour qui il participe à la libération du Pérou et de l'Equateur. Après de nombreuses péripéties au Chili, Argentine, Pérou et en Equateur. Puis, cet aventurier attiré par le Grand Océan décide de rejoindre Tahiti qu'il sera parmi les premiers Européens à découvrir. Il témoigne dans son journal des moeurs libérées des peuples Polynésiens et fera la connaissance de la jeune reine Pomaré. Sa soif d'aventures le fera vivre seul avec les cannibales des îles Gambier, où il devient pécheur de nacre et commerçant. On a retrouvé son récit, oublié dans une malle depuis 150 ans.
Il fournit un témoignage de première main et inédit sur de grands hommes et femmes comme le libérateur de l'Amérique Latine San Martin et ses activités franc-maçonnes, la Reine Pomaré IV ou l'Amiral Dumont d'Urville que notre auteur a rencontré lors de sa mission à la recherche du comte de Lapérouse. Ce livre éclaire aussi sur le rôle peu connu des anciens officiers de Napoléon dans la libération de l'Amérique Latine.
Cette aventure raconte par ailleurs la découverte des îles de la Polynésie, avec des anecdotes sur les mutinés du HMS Bounty, les diners et les fêtes de la reine Pomaré, le passage de l'Amiral Dumont d'Urville et de nombreuses personnalités de l'Océanie. Cela intéressera les océanistes, et apporte des lumières intéressantes d'un point de vue ethnographique.
L'auteur est le témoin oculaire de la christianisation des îles de Polynésie par les missionnaires protestants et catholiques, et c'est l'un des rares documents sur l'action de ces prêtres vue par un libre penseur qui prit souche dans ces îles avant les missionnaires. Ce livre apporte un éclairage nouveau, notamment sur les anciennes croyances et la façon dont les missionnaires ont imposés leur religion.
Mais connaitra t-on jamais le secret de son auteur ? Un récit sensible, humain et mystérieux sur le destin unique d'un aventurier Breton.
Ce journal se lit comme un roman d'Alexandre Dumas.
Commenté avec plus de 300 notes, enrichi d'une bibliographie de plus de 50 ouvrages, d'illustrations et de photographies sur les iles de Polynésie
