About this audiobook
When Professor Aronnax sets out to find and kill the sea monster that has been wrecking ships, he expects to remain on top of the briny main. But his new acquaintance, Captain Nemo, has other ideas. Soon the professor is witnessing a fantastic undersea life never before dreamt of—and dodging relentless pursuers.
Remarkably ahead of his time, Jules Verne described in this classic the possibilities of extensive submarine travel and scuba diving while they were still in their infancy.
Jules Verne
Jules Gabriel Verne was born in the seaport of Nantes, France, in 1828 and was destined to follow his father into the legal profession. In Paris to train for the bar, he took more readily to literary life, befriending Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo, and living by theatre managing and libretto-writing. His first science-based novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was issued by the influential publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel in 1862, and made him famous. Verne and Hetzel collaborated to write dozens more such adventures, including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1869 and Around the World in 80 Days in 1872. In later life Verne entered local politics at Amiens, where had had a home. He also kept a house in Paris, in the street now named Boulevard Jules Verne, and a beloved yacht, the Saint Michel, named after his son. He died in 1905.
