The author skillfully weaves together biographical details, historical events, and philosophical musings to create a portrait of a man driven by an insatiable thirst for adventure and exploration. The narrative transports readers to the 17th century, when France was carving out an empire in the New World. We follow de la Salle's path from his early years as a Jesuit novitiate to his decision to embrace a life of exploration and colonization in Canada.
