About this listen

During the year 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest to be a giant narwhal. The United States government assembles an expedition in New York City to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist and narrator of the story, who happens to be in New York at the time, receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition which he accepts. Canadian whaler and master harpoonist Ned Land and Aronnax's faithful servant Conseil are also brought aboard.

An absolute pleasure

This is the first time I have had the privilege to listen to this amazing tale!

To imagine that this story is now 152 years old! Is astonishing!

And I have enjoyed it in the year of 2022!

What a legacy to leave behind!

Excellent reading!

I have to say as far as adventures go jules would not be my favourite to read. He is very scientific and tedious in his writing. I could never have enough patience to actually read his books. Even as a child. So listening was the best option. I have it in the background when I'm working. So it was perfect. I'm glad I finally know the story of captain Nemo I'd detail, even though read by someone else to me.

A bit of an anticlimax

This has aged surprisingly well but could probably do with retranslating. Lots of techy detail combined with some chacter development give it interest. There are lots of unanswered questions not the least being what happened at the end, which is very abrupt and unexplained.

Back to childhood

I read this book some 65 years ago in infant school, I was 7, still a wonderful story and the narrative is beautiful, it took me back to adventure and thrill’s at being with the crew of the Nautilus

Just wonderful

Probably one of the finest science fiction books ever written. Beautiful, imaginative, and incredibly prescient.

More encyclopedia than story

Performance was superb, dynamic throughout despite only 4 available characters. In 1870s I imagine the journey across and below the 7 seas would be like fiction. J Verne's research & imagination is to be applauded. Just wish there was more of a story.
