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.

In 1866, sightings of a legendary sea monster prompt a daring expedition out of New York City. Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and whaler Ned Land are among the crew of the United States Navy frigate Abraham Lincoln. Though they are fearless, nothing prepares them for the "creature" itself - the Nautilus - a powerful, destructive submarine years ahead of its time. At the helm of the vessel is the brilliant Captain Nemo, who pulls the men deep into the wonders of the seas and the dark depths of his mind.

Story
Initially published in 1863, Five Weeks in a Balloon was the first novel in what would become the author's Extraordinary Voyages series. It tells the tale of a 4,000-mile balloon trip over the mysterious continent of Africa, a trip that wouldn't actually take place until well into the next century. Fusing adventure, comedy, and science fiction, Five Weeks has all the key ingredients of classic Verne: sly humor and cheeky characters, an innovative scientific invention, a tangled plot that's full of suspense and surprise, and visions of an unknown realm.

Story
"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Story
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne. It was published in 1870. It is the story of Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus. The book was widely acclaimed on its release and remains so; it is regarded as one of the premier adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Its depiction of Captain Nemo's underwater ship, the Nautilus, is regarded as ahead of its time, since it accurately describes many features of today's submarines, which in the 1860s were comparatively primitive vessels.

Story
On a freezing February day, a stranger emerges from out of the gray to request a room at a local provincial inn. Who is this out-of-season traveler? More confounding is the thick mask of bandages obscuring his face. Why does he disguise himself in this manner and keep himself hidden away in his room?

I really was pleasantly surprised by this read. I understand how it is science fiction, but, probably because of my ignorance in both marine biology and engineering, it read almost like fantasy. I imagine that marine biologists would revel in Verne’s descriptions of all manner of sea creatures while the engineers would continually be cringing over his imagination of futuristic technology.
Verne wrote this story in 1870, and the first submarine was built in 1620. Although submarines were built and tested throughout several wars, none of them reached the success, opulence, or imagination of Jules Verne. He takes great pains to explain how his submarine can be physically possible, but most of it went over my head. At times, it feels like Nemo just smacks a piece of machinery with a “… but this is MY electricity!” As if that explains everything. Having gone scuba diving a couple of times, I can attest that he isn’t too far off the mark in how it’s done, but doesn’t touch the claustrophobia or other sensations that are so real in that experience.
Still, I thought Verne’s story would be terrifying, cramped, full of frightening unknown. But nothing could be farther from the truth! Captain Nemo is guiding Professor Aronnax through all of the wonders of the ocean floor, discovering beautiful underwater palaces and historically sunken marvels like Atlantis! It felt more like the original Disney’s “Little Mermaid” and all its color. I would love to read this fanciful adventure to my children.
