Summary "Across the Andes" by Charles Johnson Post is an adventurous tale that blends travel narrative and personal exploration, written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences in South America, specifically focusing on Bolivia and the surrounding regions, highlighting the beauty and challenges of the Andean landscape and jungles of the Upper Amazon. The narrative is rich with descriptions of the characters and their encounters, including the author's interactions with a colorful cast of adventurers and locals. The opening of the tale introduces the protagonist as he finds himself in Panama, eagerly anticipating his journey into the interior of South America. He meets Bert, a jovial former soldier and storyteller, amidst a backdrop of quarantine-induced delays and a bustling, vibrant hotel scene. As the protagonist settles for a refreshing beverage while awaiting a ship called the "Mapocho", the characterization of Bert foreshadows the adventures ahead, filled with whimsical tales and camaraderie. The scenes are set against the tropical climate, encapsulating a sense of urgency and excitement for the travels and the unknown experiences that lie across the Andes.
