In June 1792, astronomers Pierre Méchain and Jean-Baptiste Delambre set out from Paris to measure the meridian joining Dunkirk and Barcelona. The mission becomes a dangerous adventure: they must dodge blockades, pirates, and the distrust of a revolutionary society that mistakes them for spies.
The France Loisirs edition was published in 2000; the text is in French and the work has 375 pages.
For those who enjoy historical novels and tales of scientific expeditions.
