Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Voyage au Golfe de Californie: Nuits de la Zone Torride

A mesure que j'ai avanc� dans ce travail, j'ai senti de plus en plus vivement ma faiblesse comme �crivain, mon insuffisance � d�crire les ph�nom�nes produits sous mes yeux et leur effet sur mon intelligence. Je me suis efforc� d'�lever ma pens�e, et apr�s lui avoir donn� une forme mat�rielle, je me suis appliqu� � polir sa surface, � adou cir ses asp�rit�s, afin de la rendre attrayante � l'esprit, harmonieuse � l'oreille; mais, h�las! Mes efforts ont �t� impuissants � satisfaire mes d�sirs; car jamais cette forme ne r�pond � la beaut� de l'objet qu'a con�u mon esprit, et la peinture de ma pens�e reste toujours au - dessous de la cause qui l'a inspir�e.
