Description

308 pages ; 20 cm. North against South : a tale of the American Civil War by Jules Verne. Translation of: Nord contre Sud. Part 1. Burbank the Northerner, Part 2. Texar the Southerner. Not illustrated. Texar's Revenge, or, North Against South (French: Nord contre Sud) is the full title of the English translation of the novel written by the French science-fiction author Jules Verne, and centers on the story of James Burbank, an antislavery northerner living near Jacksonville, Florida, and Texar, a pro-slavery southerner who holds a vendetta against Burbank. Originally published in France in 1887, the book received a tepid reaction upon its release in the United States, partly because of Verne's inexpertise regarding some details of the American Civil War, and has since fallen into obscurity compared to many of Verne's other works.
