Le Superbe Orénoque:

Garmt,

In 1978, Arnaud Chaffanjon, a descendent of Jean Chaffanjon, published in
Paris (Denys Pierron, éditions Scriptoplan), a 586 page book with the title
"L'Orénoque aux deux visages".

The volume contains the travel report of Jean Chaffanjon, "Le Superbe
Orénoque" by Jules Verne, and an introduction by Arnaud Chaffanjon.

The travel report by Jean Chaffanjon was used by Jules Verne to describe
the Orénoque basin and, as you noticed, Chaffanjon is cited almost
permanently in JV's novel.
