Mémoires deur Charles-Marie de La Condamine is ’n fassinerende blik op die lewe en avonture van ’n Franse wetenskaplike en ontdekkingsreisiger in die 18de eeu. Hierdie memoir bied ’n unieke perspektief op La Condamine se betrokkenheid by die Franse Geodetiese Sending na Suid-Amerika, waar hy en sy span die vorm van die aarde help bepaal het. Sy wedervaringe, van die uitdagings van die Amazone-oerwoud tot die politieke intriges van die koloniale samelewing, word op ’n boeiende en insiggewende manier beskryf.
