Dick Sands, the epic of the slave trade, was published in 1878. This depiction of Africa’s wilds, its adventures and dangers, as well as the brutal hunting of beasts and mankind, has long been a favourite of Verne’s readers. It is devoid of wonders and inventions, instead attempting to transmit two real impressions through exciting situations and deeds. One is the traveler’s teaching of geographical information, such as the picture of Africa as it has been discovered by explorers, botanists, and zoologists. The other is the moral lesson of slavery’s terrible curse, its brutalising, horrifying influence on those who come into contact with it, and the utterly destructive impact it has had on Africa itself.
