Translations for Peru in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

I have said before that Lord John Roxton was a South Americomaniac. He could not speak of that great country without ardour, and this ardour was infectious, for, ignorant as I was, he fixed my attention and stimulated my curiosity. How I wish I could reproduce the glamour of his discourses, the peculiar mixture of accurate knowledge and of racy imagination which gave them their fascination, until even the Professor's cynical and sceptical smile would gradually vanish from his thin face as he listened. He would tell the history of the mighty river so rapidly explored (for some of the first conquerors of Peru actually crossed the entire continent upon its waters), and yet so unknown in regard to all that lay behind its ever-changing banks.

J’ai dit que lord Roxton aimait passionnément le Sud-Amérique. Il n’en pouvait parler sans un enthousiasme qui, dans mon état d’ignorance, me gagnait, en fixant mon attention et stimulant ma curiosité. Combien je voudrais pouvoir rendre le charme de ses propos, ce mélange original d’exactitude et d’imagination pittoresque dont la séduction s’exerçait jusque sur Summerlee, au point que, peu à peu, tandis que le professeur écoutait, son sourire sceptique s’évanouissait sur sa maigre figure ! Il nous faisait l’historique du puissant fleuve, exploré de si bonne heure (car quelques-uns des premiers conquérants du Pérou traversèrent tout le continent sur ses eaux) et cependant si inconnu par delà ses bords toujours changeants !
