Le récit se situe à Lima (au Pérou) et dans les environs. Trois communautés y cohabitent : les espagnols successeurs des conquistadors y constituent la noblesse locale, les indiens sont dans des positions subalternes et les métis en situation intermédiaire, mal vus à la fois des espagnols et des indiens. Le juif Samuel a promis, contre une somme de 100 000 piastres, d'accorder sa fille Sarah comme épouse au riche métis André Certa. Mais Sarah - qui est fort attirée par la religion catholique - est amoureuse du jeune chef indien Martin Paz. À la suite d'une altercation avec André Certa qu'il a blessé, Martin Paz doit s'enfuir : il sème ses poursuivants en plongeant dans la rivière ; tous le croient mort mais il trouve refuge auprès du noble espagnol Don Vegal qui le prend en amitié et sous sa protection. Les indiens, ses congénères, le croient mort aussi ; ils sont en train de fomenter une révolte, et lui en veulent pour avoir porté préjudice à leur projet à cause d'une femme.

About the author










Jules Verne wrote and published over 100 novels, short stories, nonfiction books, essays, and plays-some posthumously. He was born on a small river island in Nantes, France, on February 8th, 1828. His parents, Pierre Verne and Sophie Allotte de La Fuÿe, sent Jules to Paris in 1848 to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lawyer. Instead, he developed a love of all things literary and fashioned himself into a prolific and versatile writer.

His first novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in 1863 by publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel and launched Verne's popular career with the Voyages Extraordinaires series of adventure novels, many of which established key elements of the science fiction genre. He was an instant success in France and other parts of Europe and would become a respected literary giant around the world later in the twentieth century. Verne died on March 24th, 1905, in Amiens, France.

Verne's most famous works include Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1872). Verne is one of the most translated authors in the world, second only to William Shakespeare, and still holds the prestigious title, "the Father of Science Fiction."
