French writer Louis Boussenard is the author of numerous adventure novels, translated into two dozen languages of the world and not inferior to the best works of Jules Verne. Their distinctive features: a wealth of imagination, a sense of humor, the romance of distant wanderings and extensive scientific material.
This edition includes two famous novels about the adventures of a young Frenchman Jean Grandier and his faithful friends in North America in the era of the "gold rush" and in South Africa during the Anglo-Boer War. Incredible adventures are combined here with historical facts, fascinating plot - with a plausible picture of exotic countries, whether it is snow-covered Klondike or the sun-hot Republic of Transvaal. For this edition, the novel "Ice Hell" has been re-translated, and the translation of the novel "Captain Daredevil" has been checked with the original and edited to restore fragments missed earlier. The book is accompanied by an extensive commentary. Also reproduced in the volume is a set of classic engravings by French artists Charles Cleris and Marius Liege, supplemented by color illustrations from French newspapers of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
