    • 1955, Claude Lévi-Strauss, chapter VII, in Tristes Tropiques, Plon, published 1993, →ISBN, page 67; republished as John & Doreen Weightman, transl., Tristes Tropiques, Penguin, 2011, →ISBN:
      C’était le contraire d’un voyage. Plutôt que moyen de transport, le bateau nous semblait demeure et foyer, à la porte duquel le plateau tournant du monde eût arrêté chaque jour un décor nouveau.
      — It was the opposite of a voyage. More than a means of transport, the ship seemed to us to be a dwelling-place and a home, in front of which the revolving stage of the world would halt some new setting every morning.
