"Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon is a novel by Jules Verne, published in 1881. It has also been published as The Giant Raft. Unlike many of his other novels, this story does not have any science fiction elements. It is an adventure novel. This novel involves how Joam Garral, a ranch owner who lives near the Peruvian-Brazilian border on the Amazon River, is forced to travel down-stream when his past catches up with him. Most of the novel is situated on a large jangada (a Brazilian timber raft) that is used by Garral and his family to float to Belem at the river's mouth. Many aspects of the raft, scenery, and journey are described in detail.

[a handsome pair in teal] [Together, two volumes.] Translated by W.J. Gordon. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1881 [2nd vol: 1882]. 16 pp Vol I undated ads, 16 pp Vol II ads dated Fall 1882. Original teal cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt, beveled boards. First American Hardbound Editions of the two volumes that together form the tale THE GIANT RAFT, sited on the Amazon River (published as LA JANGADA in the original French). Joam Garral of Iquitos, Peru concedes to his daughter's wish to travel to Belem, Brazil, where she can marry Manuel Valdez in the presence of Manuel's invalid mother. The Garrals plan to make the journey to Belem down the Amazon River, via a giant raft [a "jangada" -- and it is giant! -- pictured on each front cover, it is 1000 feet long by 60 feet wide]. Along the way, Joam plans to get his good name restored, as he is still wanted in Brazil for a crime he did not commit. Absolute proof of Joam's innocence lies in the hands of a scoundrel named Torres, who has a cryptogram that will exonerate Joam; however, the price that Torres wants for this information [Garral's daughter] is much too high. [Kytasaari] Classic Verne -- adventure, intrigue, a cryptogram, all the while educating his reading public about life along the Amazon. George Munro published Part I of this tale (as THE JANGADA) in July 1881, and Part II in January 1882, in his self-wrappered, triple-columned "Seaside Library." Sampson Low published the two volumes of their illustrated British edition in November 1881 and May 1882, and Scribner published these two volumes in December 1881 and September 1882. Both Sampson Low and Scribner bound this tale in a format uniform with Verne's two-volume THE STEAM HOUSE, then just published. Both volumes are in teal-colored cloth; we have also seen terra-cotta, brown and olive-grey (though there is no priority between the four colors, this teal is the scarcest and the most attractive). Each volume includes a fold-out map, of the Upper and Lower Amazon respectively. The volumes are in bright, close-to-fine condition (a touch of very faint soil on the blank rear covers). Though the American editions are not as scarce as the British, it is tough to find the pair in matching color and in this condition. Taves & Michaluk V022; Myers 28.
