About this listen

Professor Aronnax, a French naturalist, begins an extremely hazardous voyage to pursue a little-known and terrifying sea monster. However, the ‘monster’ turns out to be a giant submarine, the Nautilus, which is commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo.

They explore underwater marvels, and find the ruins of Atlantis but Nemo has a hidden desire for revenge, which will not be ignored.

A wonderful exploration of the ocean

I enjoyed the little nerfy things about the ocean, the insights on fauna and flora, different biomes underneath the surface of the water. The voice acting performance was great and I was impressed by the French pronunciation, even though I have no idea what these terms meant, haha. I highly recommend.

Enriched Classic Version; a GREAT classic

For those seeking an audio companion for the Enriched Classic edition of this book, you've found it!

Contrary to several reviews that complain of excessive omittable detail and cataloging, I found every passage to be both relevant and exciting. Truly a modern epic!

The narration and audio quality were perfect too.
