Summary "Nord contre sud" by Jules Verne is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the American Civil War and revolves around the Burbank family, particularly James Burbank, who is caught in the tensions between North and South regarding the issue of slavery. The book explores themes of conflict, loyalty, and the implications of war on personal lives. The opening of the novel describes the setting of Florida, detailing its geography and the backdrop of the ongoing Civil War. It introduces the steam-boat Shannon, which is transporting passengers along the St. John River, highlighting a division among the travelers that reflects the larger societal conflict. Among the characters introduced are James Burbank, a Northern sympathizer, and Texar, a staunch supporter of slavery. The chapter sets the stage for the escalating tensions as various factions grapple with the impending threat of federal forces and the realities of life in a divided nation. As the narrative progresses, the reader anticipates dramatic developments stemming from the characters’ differing allegiances and the broader historical conflict.
