Publisher Description

Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon is a unique addition to Jules Verne’s beloved adventure series, Voyages Extraordinaire, as it is among the few Verne novels that does not include elements of science fiction. Instead, Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon combines the adventure genre with a murder mystery. After being falsely accused of a crime, Joam Garral was forced to flee Brazil. Now, many years later, he is living on a thriving Peruvian plantation with his family. However, when his daughter is set to marry a Brazilian army surgeon named Manuel Valdez, the couple decide to have their wedding in Brazil, so that Manuel’s mother, who cannot travel, is able to attend the wedding. Nervous about returning to his home country, but absolutely dedicated to supporting his daughter, Joam decides to make the journey to Brazil, and aims to restore his reputation while he is there. With this is mind, the Garral family start their journey, riding down the Amazon River on a giant raft. This journey alone proves to be difficult, as the family must prevail over the dangers of the river. Finally, when they arrive in Brazil, they meet a shady man named Torres, who has an encrypted letter that would clear Joam’s name. However, as Torres tries to extort them, the Garral family must find a way to obtain and decode this letter before Joam is executed.
