Mistress Branican, a Jules Verne I didn't know.
The novel is well-written and would be fluid without the endless geographical and natural descriptions.
All this display of knowledge, indeed of good quality if it is aimed at a 19th-century audience that is poorly informed, is here indigestible.
And what about the (old-fashioned?) clichés about women and other simple beings, about negroes and other cannibals?
It is an adventure book to read at a certain distance, therefore.
