Guillaume Boulle de Larigaudie (Paris, January 18, 1908 – May 11, 1940 Musson, Belgium), known as Guy de Larigaudie and the "legendary Rover", was a French writer of Scout novels and travel books, Rover Scout of France, writer, explorer, lecturer and journalist. His life was a vivid testimony, that living with God is perfectly possible and desired also in the modern times. His "Theo-centric" axis, as he calls the fundamental direction of his life, guided him safely through all his adventures in the sky, on the sea or in the arms of the most beautiful exotic women he met on his travels. He kept the chastity and clean innocent view just like a curious child, always relating the surrounding world as gifts from God. His notes and thoughts from his adventures can be found mainly in the 1943 book Étoile au grand large. Source: Wikipedia (en)
