"The Island without Kings" (could be stated more elegantly than that, oh well)
This seems pretty interesting, so I'll be checking it out. There's a summary below, plus 12pp from the book (in French).

EDIT: Some weeks later I tried giving it a read, but holy wonder-monkeys, did it waffle around endlessly and fail to get anywhere at the half-way mark.
I'm sorry, but... next!

My French sucks but I'd translate it either as
The island whose king doesn't exist, or
The island or the king doesn't exist
I'd love to know how to translate it correctly though

When the ou has a ù, it means a place/location.
So it translates to: The island where the king doesn't exist

Yeah "où" means "where", "ou" means "or".

Wow, those underwater compositions are quite something, especially the title page!
