20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA

Taken prisoner aboard the rogue submarine Nautilus in 1873, a French professor of marine biology travels an underwater world with his captors, while discovering the philosophy and technical knowledge of the vessel's strange Captain Nemo--Latin for "no one." Battling giant sea creatures, collecting sunken gold, sinking enemy ships, and eating unknown aquatic delights provide nonstop adventure for all ages. Michael Prichard's deep, pleasant voice does no accents for the three languages involved but, nevertheless, captures the action and drama of this classic novel, which is guaranteed to entertain and surprise listeners with its prescient predictions of modern know-how. One would never suspect that such eloquent English was translated from French. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 03/JAN 04]
