Using all his wiles and resources, Texar conducts the perfect plan to exact his bitter revenge.At its heart, ‘North against South’ is an adventure story. However, Verne infuses it with social commentary and vivid details surrounding the Civil War and the lives that people led back in the late 17th Century.
