N2  - "Souvenirs du célèbre marcheur Gallot, le roi des marcheurs. Première partie" is a memoir written in the late 19th century. The work captures the life experiences and observations of the author, Y.-L. Gallot, who recounts his adventures as a renowned walker and traveler. The narrative sets the stage for Gallot's personal journey, covering his childhood struggles and the series of events that led him to a life of exploration.  The opening portion of the memoir introduces Gallot's painful childhood and his decision to escape his oppressive home life with a friend. Starting from the story of abuse and mistreatment from his parents, Gallot vividly describes his rebellious spirit and determination to flee to a better life. Their journey to the sea leads them aboard a German ship, the "Ceylan," where they encounter both hardships and brutal treatment before ultimately making a daring escape. This dramatic beginning establishes the tone for an adventurous narrative that combines autobiographical elements with a rich tapestry of personal anecdotes and historical observations, particularly as Gallot navigates his way through new lands and cultures in America.
