Alain Bombard (1924–2005) was a French physician and biologist who was the first in the world to conduct a risky experiment in ocean survival. He crossed the Atlantic alone in a small inflatable boat, trying to prove that shipwrecked people can stay alive for a very long time if they use their body's resources rationally and do not give in to despair.

Not a sailor, not a rescuer, and not a survival expert, Alain Bombard accomplished this feat, trying to help people in distress believe in themselves. The diary of his extreme journey, Naufrage volontaire, became a bestseller all over the world. Alain Bombard's invaluable experience is of great practical interest not only to conquerors of the water element seeking thrills, but also to travel enthusiasts who are far from thirsty for adrenaline.

The book is addressed to everyone who wants to know how to survive in extreme conditions.
