About the Author
Jean-Paul Edouard Debenat was born in 1943 in the “département” of Vendée in the west of France. His father, a railway stationmaster, had to move to a different town every four to ve years, from the La Rochelle area to Brittany. Jean-Paul developed a taste for traveling, probably initiated by his (semi-clandestine) trips on board freight trains, and he dreamed of becoming an airline pilot so he could travel the world. His dream was shattered
when a medical exam revealed weak eyesight, so Jean-Paul turned to the study of English at the University of Rennes. This would still allow him to visit many countries. He taught French in Glasgow, Scotland and at the University of Notre-Dame, South Bend, Indiana. He wrote his dissertation on science ction writer Robert A. Heinlein for a PhD in Comparative Literature (La Sorbonne, Paris, 1984); and he studied the history of religions at the renowned Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris.
Jean-Paul enjoyed a long-lasting friendship with novelist and mythologist Jean-Charles Pichon; and he became closely acquainted with Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans, whom he used to visit at his home in Le Bugue, near Lascaux, and then at Bernard’s last residence in Le Vésinet, near Paris. Pichon and Heuvelmans knew each other and their erudition stimulated Jean-Paul’s creativity, leading him to spend a sabbatical in the state of Washington (1994) studying the bigfoot/ sasquatch phenomenon. He was able to meet in situ most of the major North American researchers at the time. His rst book on the topic was published in French (Editions JMG – Le Temps Présent, 2007), before being translated by Dr. Paul LeBlond under the title
Jean-Paul Debenat is holding a ra le made of deer hooves in Quebec, Canada. In front of him, on the table are two drums and two small Na ve American ra les. By his right hand are a prayer wheel and a Tibetan singing bowl.
Sasquatch/Bigfoot and the Mystery of the Wild Man (Hancock House Publishers, Canada/USA, 2009). After several trips to the province of Sichuan, China, where he visited his son Julien and daughter-in-law Mao Xi, Jean-Paul decided to investigate the ndings of the researchers who devoted their energy tracking the mysterious “wild men of Asia,” which is the title of his second book. It was published in French as A la Poursuite du Yéti [In Pursuit of the Yeti] (Editions JMG – Le Temps Présent, 2009). Jean-Paul Debenat has lectured on cryptozoology as well as on aviation, in France, Belgium, Italy, Great Britain, USA and China.
Presently, Jean-Paul is completing a book on the history of aviation—his second book in the domain—to be published by Editions Bleu-Ciel under the title, Avions et Pilotes d’Exception [Outstanding Planes and Pilots].
About the Translator
Paul LeBlond is a Canadian ocean scientist, born in Quebec City in 1938 and now resides on Galiano Island, British Columbia. A graduate of McGill University and the University of British Columbia, LeBlond taught physics and oceanography at the University of British Columbia where he is now an emeritus professor. His work on ocean waves and currents has taken him to research institutes in Germany, France and Russia and was applied to practical problems through his industrial consulting activities and membership in sheries conservation councils.
Parallel to his academic work, he developed a keen interest in unidenti ed marine animals, inspired by the work of Bernard Heuvelmans. He participated in the creation of the International Society of Cryptozoology in 1982 and was a co-founder the British Columbia Scienti c Cryptozoology Club in 1989. LeBlond is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, as well as a foreign member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Russian Federation.
