"L'expédition de la Jeannette au pôle Nord, racontée par tous les membres de l'expédition" est une collection de récits rassemblés par Jules Geslin, probablement écrite au cours de la fin du 19th century. This work chronicles the harrowing journey of the crew of the Jeannette, an Arctic exploration vessel, as they navigate the challenges and perils of their expedition to the North Pole. It offers a firsthand account of the trials faced by the crew, detailing their survival, the harsh conditions encountered, and their interactions with the landscapes and peoples of the Arctic. The opening of the narrative introduces the aftermath of the Jeannette's disastrous voyage, focusing on Mr. Jackson as he meets survivors in Irkutsk. The initial feelings of joy and relief at receiving letters and news from home are palpable among the twelve survivors, some of whom are in good health, while others, like Jack Cole, suffer from mental distress due to the traumatic experiences of their journey. The chapter sets up a tense atmosphere, touching on their struggles, the welcome they received from the local authorities, and hints at the challenges they must continue to face as they recount the events of their fateful expedition. Jackson's interactions also establish a backdrop of camaraderie and rescue, leading into the detailed recounting of the expedition’s harrowing trials that are to follow.
