Elton Smile is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on an expedition led by M. Hollydorf from the R. H. B. Society, which is tasked with exploring the headwaters of the Paraguay River and discovering the unique parasitical life native to the region. As the crew travels together, they encounter various challenges, cultural dynamics, and unexpected adventures, all while unraveling the mysteries of a rumored walled city inhabited by a beautiful white race. At the start of the narrative, the expedition launches from Montevideo, gathering a diverse group of characters, including the jovial Padre Simon and naturalist Mr. Dow, all equipped with advanced instruments for scientific inquiry. The journey quickly becomes complicated by the interference of indigenous tribes, whose hostility compels the explorers to navigate unforeseen dangers while seeking knowledge. The opening establishes a blend of humor and tension, showcasing the dynamic interactions among the crew and the escalating perils stemming from their encounters with the local tribes, setting the stage for further exploration and discovery in the uncharted territories of the tropics.
