| Summary |
"In de Oer-wouden van Afrika" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around characters Max Huber and John Cort, as they embark on an expedition through the dense and perilous forests of Africa, encountering various dangers, including hostile natives and wild animals, while searching for extraordinary experiences. At the start of the narrative, Max Huber and John Cort are traveling through the African wilderness in a carriage drawn by oxen, reflecting on their journey and the dangers they face. They discuss their encounters with local tribes, including a previous ordeal where they saved a young boy named Llanga from cannibals. As night falls, they set up camp under tamarind trees but are soon drawn to mysterious lights at the edge of a nearby forest, which they believe may indicate the presence of native tribes. The tension builds as they prepare for potential conflict, making readers eager to discover what lies ahead in their treacherous adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
