Histoire illustrée des outils de la navigation, l'instrument de marine retrace en même temps la passionnante épopée des pionniers de la mer, dans leur insatiable recherche des moyens de se diriger et de se situer à travers l'immensité des océans. Alors que se perfectionnent les instruments de marine, l'art de naviguer, grâce à eux, mène à la conquête géographique du globe. Ouvrage de référence abondamment documenté, guide précieux autant pour l'historien que pour le collectionneur, véritable encyclopédie du matériel de navigation du bord, l'instrument de marine est enrichi de 48 documents en couleur et de 250 photographies, dessins et schémas en noir. Un extraordinaire renouveau d'intérêt pour l'histoire de la navigation maritime justifiait la parution d'un tel ouvrage, qui s'affirme désormais comme le guide de son " musée imaginaire ".

One of the most beloved adventure stories of all time, "Treasure Island" is a swashbuckling tale of the search for hidden treasure. When an old sea captain named Billy Bones dies at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the west coast of England during the mid-1700s, Jim Hawkins, the innkeeper's son, and his mother discover a treasure map among his belongings. Jim shows the map to local acquaintances, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and together they plan an expedition to find the treasure. They set sail aboard the "Hispaniola," led by Captain Smollett, in search of Treasure Island. Among the crew are former pirates, who are led to mutiny by "Long John" Silver, a one-legged tavern-keeper hired as the ship's cook. Written in the late 19th century, Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" dramatically depicts maritime life, rich with its perils, in an adventure that investigates the nature of good and evil itself.
