Itinérarium Editions

Passionate about history and geography for as long as he can remember, Erik de Boisgrollier grew up and lived in France, Spain and Canada. An avid traveler, he has explored Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America and South America. It was while discovering the narratives of Jacques Cartier and Nasir Khusraw that he had the idea of giving these forgotten texts a second life. He leads the editorial direction of Itinérarium and works primarily on the Wild Americas and Orient & Levant collections.

An insatiable reader and polyglot by curiosity, Thierry de Ruolz developed a passion for Eastern literatures after an extended stay in Turkey and Iran in his twenties. A self-taught Arabist, he learned Persian on the ground, through travels that took him from Damascus to Samarkand. He brings to the project an intimate knowledge of Levantine and Asian cultures. He works on the Deep Asia and Orient & Levant collections.

Fascinated by maps since childhood, Yves Garnier spent much of his life traveling through sub-Saharan Africa and the polar regions. A long-distance hiker and amateur sailor, he approaches travel narratives through geography: the terrain, the climate, the landscapes. For him, rewriting an explorer's text means first understanding the physical world they crossed. He is responsible for the Unexplored Africa and South Pole collections.
