I liked the mystery and early encryption / decoding description.

Les livres plus connis de Jules Verne sont, en géneral, des histoires fantastiques et imaginatives qui melagent la science et l'exploration de l'inconnu pour créer des narratives qui ont entré dans l'imagination populaire. Pourtant, La Jangada n'est pas ce type de livre: il raconte une histoire qui semble plus les romances de investigation, où les personnages doivent résoudre un mystère dans une courte période de temps.
Alors, c'est un lovre de Verne qui a des élements avec auxquels l'auteur a crée ses œuvres plus célèbres, mais où il a, par contre, reinforcé les élements de l'histoire qui, peut-être, ne sont pas leurs points les plus forts.
Je trouve que ce livre est plus une curiosité pour les fans de Verne qu'une lecture indispensable.

Tada, kai šią knygą išleido, ji tikrai turėjo būti vienas įspūdingiausių nuotykių literatūros kūrinių. Nematyti gyvūnai, tolimi kraštai, nuostabūs augalai, pavojus, apgavystė. Viskas ko reikia.
Dabar, literatūra pasikeitusi ir kūriniuose gvildenamos kitos temos. Čia aprašyti kultūros bruožai dabar susilauktų griežtos kritikos, net jei tuo metu buvo pakankamai modernus požiūris, ypač kalbant apie vergus ir skirtingas žmonių rases.

The Jangada is a large log raft that sails Amazon.
This work is how the Garral family will descend the course of the Amazon.
A whole thrilling story unfolds around a geographical description of the Amazon region.
A complete book.

Excellent classic adventure tale about a trip down the Amazon River from Peru to the Atlantic where, along the way, we meet with danger, romance, mystery, and a numeric cryptogram which has to be solved in order to save someone's life.

I always feel like Jules Verne himself is a character - really the most interesting character - in any of his books (Barthes be damned). It's hard not to be fascinated by a guy living in Paris and writing a travelogue about a continent he hadn't visited, simply by doing research.
If the first half of the novel is an adventure introducing us to the Amazon basin, the second is a Poe, Gold Bug type cryptogram mystery. Both are fine examples of their respective genres, it is fun to get them both. But the first half is probably stronger than the second, if only for the descriptions of South American flora and fauna, and culture, by Verne. I guess I like it because the late 19th century is a very interesting time intellectually - in that there was so much left to discover, but there was such an optimism and even arrogance - which comes through in a lot of Verne's writing.
