Le village aérien by Jules Verne
"Le Village Aérien" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. This adventurous tale takes readers on a journey through the heart of Africa, following two main characters, John Cort and Max Huber, as they navigate the dangers and wonders of the continent while exploring themes of exploration and human courage. The opening of the story introduces us to the two protagonists as they travel in a cart
through the African wilderness, debating the viability of American colonization in Africa versus further exploration of their own country. Their thoughts are interrupted by the mention of the vast regions they have yet to discover. As they continue their journey, they discuss their hopes for the remainder of their expedition, expressing a desire for something extraordinary to happen, beyond the typical challenges faced by explorers. The stage is set for a narrative filled with peril and discovery, highlighted by their recent rescue of a young boy named Llanga, who they plan to adopt as they grapple with the harsh realities of their environment and the ambiguities of their mission.
