* ValuesDissonance: This was Verne’s first novel, and probably his most racist. Indigenous Africans are easy-to-fool AlwaysChaoticEvil savages, Arabs are barely any better. Indeed, at one point the heroes genuinely mistake a troop of baboons for the native black people, implying that they cannot see any difference. And then there's the scene where Dick repeatedly shoots an elephant dragging them towards a forest.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: One discussion about the evils of industrialization has one character think the last day of the world will feature a gigantic boiler exploding, and the Americans will probably be responsible.

changed my mind on whether it\'s really necessary


!!The book:
* ValuesDissonance: The attitude towards native Africans is same as you'd expect from a typical novel from this period--all they do throughout the novel is fleeing in panic, trying to worship the protagonists, or trying to kill them savagely.
