Bonjour,
Excuse moi Garmt, mais je n'ai pas très bien compris cette dernière
phrase : "I think that by the end of the 19th century, even if the name
Robinson had ever had another connotation, it would be obscured by the
"lonely island" idea." Si tu peux développer s'il te plait ... Merci

Cordialement,
Marc
