20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by
Jules Verne
A Great Title!
Unabridged Audiobook. 10 CDs - 11 hours, 35 minutes. Read by Michael
Prichard. French Professor Aronnax and his servant join the Abraham
Lincoln, an American frigate, on a mission to find and destroy a sea-
unicorn of colossal dimensions, armed not with a halberd, but with a real
spur, as the armored frigates. The undersea monster is thought to be
responsible for the disappearance of over 200 ships. When they encounter
the gigantic cetacean it disables the Abraham Lincoln and knocks
Professor Aronnax, his servant, and the hot-tempered harpooner, Ned
Land overboard. The three must cling to the beast or drown; soon they
realize that it is really a man-made underwater vehicle. Captain Nemo
captures the men on his incredible submarine, the Nautilus. The captain
and his unwilling passengers thus embark on a deep-sea odyssey that
stretches from the palm-strewn Indian Ocean to the frozen peril of the
South Pole. But the enigmatic Nemo has a darker purpose for his
voyage.... revenge on humanity. Not just a suspense ridden drama, this

classic novel, written in 1873, predicts with astonishing accuracy the
advanced technology and inventions of the 20th century and has inspired
generations of science fiction writers.
Personal Review: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is one of those classics that has so made
its imprint upon SF and popular culture that one needn't have read the
book to know its features: the dark genius, Captain Nemo; the futuristic
Nautilus with its thousand strange inventions and capabilities; and gigantic
octopi that can drag a ship down to the abyss. In fact, this book is so
invested into modern culture that hardly anyone nowadays has read it, and
it is a work that, even more than 120 years after its first publication, yet
deserves examination.
