Jules Verne - Nord contre Sud - 1887

North versus South takes the reader into the heart of the United States during the Civil War, where political passions and family rivalries clash with the fervor of young heroes. Amid ambushes, plots, and spectacular twists, Verne weaves a vibrant story where the fate of the protagonists constantly swings between loyalty, courage, and survival. The gripping plot, filled with romantic moments, reveals a fractured yet heroic America, ready to shift from one side to the other according to convictions and dangers.

Born in 1828 in Nantes, Jules Verne grew up between maritime daydreams and literary passions, before becoming one of the visionary fathers of science fiction. A curious scholar of everything, he explored continents, the depths, and the stars through an imagination nourished by emerging sciences. An indefatigable worker, he published more than sixty novels in the series of Extraordinary Voyages. His work, blending scientific rigor with epic spirit, has a lasting influence on literature and popular sciences. He passed away in 1905, recognized as a universal visionary.
