Magellania is the home of Kaw-djer, a mysterious man of Western origin whose motto is "Neither God nor master."

Synopsis
"Magellania"--which refers to the Strait of Magellan--is the home of Kaw-djer, a mysterious man of Western origin whom the indigenous peoples consider a demigod. Originally penned in 1897, "Magellania" was totally rewritten after Verne's death by his son Michel but soon disappeared into obscurity.
