Questo libro appartiene a quel genere di romanzi di Verne che, più che libri di fantascienza,sono taccuini di viaggio. Una trama avventurosa (si parla di caccia alla tigre, di una vendetta all'ultimo sangue fra un indiano e un inglese) fa da trait d'union al vero protagonista del libro, che è il viaggio nellIndia del nord, partendo da Calcutta ed arrivando alle pendici dell'Himalaya. Il tutto a bordo di una fantastica casa a vapore a forma di elefante! La storia della sanguinosa insurrezione dei Cipay è il presupposto da cui si sviluppa la trama....
