Louis de Rougemont took Victorian England by storm with his tales of adventure on the high seas. Now Louis invites you to witness his story of bravery, survival and celebrity that left his readers spellbound. Embarking on an epic journey, Louis encounters extraordinary creatures and strange islands, overcomes storms, shipwreck and attacks by a native tribe and a man-eating octopus, only to return to London thirty years later to publish his exploits. Shipwrecked is a story that captivated and divided nineteenth century society. Is Louis de Rougemont an adventurer capable of amazing deeds, or is he merely a teller of tall tales?
