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.

After hearing about this story most of my life but not actually hearing what it is about itself, I have listened to it now. I have to say it's rather interesting, there's for me though, too much detail. The narration was wonderful.

I really liked this classic specially if one things how exciting could be to explore the oceans, I found the adventures of the protagonist not too sensational or the development of the protagonist too deep, I feel that the joy of this book is took imagine those places visited by the by the Nautilus, places described in detail to make feel part of the crew.

Calm and entertaining adventure

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.

Excellent reading!
