Abstract

This article analyses the different editions of a series of letters published by Jacques Arago (1790-1854) and entitled Promenade autour du monde. It compares the first French edition, which was published in 1822, and different editions of its subsequent translations to English and Italian. It highlights differences regarding features such as forewords, images and appendices devoted to scientific aspects of travel. It points out that editorial mediation helped produce different effects of meaning in the author’s work, enhancing its level of complexity by changing its levels of scientific verissimilitude.
