Bastien, To open a djvu file in evince you need a plugin. This plugin is included in Fedora but not installed by default. I would guess the situation is similar in other distros. In Fedora I would do a yum search on "djvu" or "evince" to find it.
If that doesn't work you can download a PDF instead. All IA books should be available in that format as well.
