I get such a feeling of relief when I click play for the first time and hear it’s a narrator like this lol. Especially on UA-cam I feel it is a huge risk.

Due to the pandemic, I've started listening to the books people say you should read in your lifetime. The author had such a vivid and extraordinary imagination; no wonder this is considered a classic! Thanks for the great narration!
@ I've done Catcher in the Rye, Animal Farm, 1984 (read before), Lord of the Flies (read before). I did 2001: A Space Odyssey as a break. I think Of Mice and Mrn is next for me.
I recommend “the Mysterious Island” by the same author also “the lost world” by conan doyle. And is you’re interested in Sherlock Holmes look up “magpie audio sherlock holmes”
Kudos to the reader. You did a wonderful job. So happy to hear the right pronunciations. I would recommend this audiobook to everyone who likes them, especially Science Fiction fans.

I think right for its time. Too few people these days are unaware that the 1800's were a time of fervent intellectual activity - evolution, paleontology, statistics, mathematics, exploration, zoology, and botany and chemistry and physics. People were exerting their imaginations in an unprecedented way due to advances in science and engineering. The Naval Museum in Paris (in view of the Eiffel Tower!) shows models of experimental vessels that look like they belong in an Jules Verne novel. (and it's cheap and uncrowded!).

@Fred Smith And your assessment, I presume, is made from the perspective of an engineer, well studied enough to refute the various liberties taken? I, being an electronics engineer and having studied various other aspects of physics on a more or less casual basis over the last decade and change, take issue with perhaps no more than a 20th of the principles and apparatuses detailed, save for the ease at which their application is described. The water tightness at depth of a hull made from overlapping, riveted plates, the means by which the electricity used is obtained, and the construction of the free breathing apparatuses are the only true contentions I've taken with the technical aspects of the writing. Else it seems little more than a tour de force of things which can be done, though as said, without such great ease as is indicated. I should very much like to hear what else is of great issue, with consideration that I've only made it through the better part of a third of the novel.
HorrorBabble is my favourite. Ian Gordon the narrator has a fantastic voice. 🙂 Edit: HorrorBabble is a UA-cam channel with many great stories, from classics to barely known stuff. Mainly horror though. 🙂
@@AncientMysteriesAndInnovations . True, I tend to stick to the Lovecraft, Blackwood, and Machen stuff, but do like to try new material too, you can find some real gems out there. 🙂
Well done to the narrator for such a good audio. Unfortunately, this version is an abridged one, something I regret deeply. I am French, and have been interested in this novel since the age of 12 - I am now 59 - I know this book by heart. I simply cannot understand that some translator decided to sever some parts of Jules Verne's text. To me it's sacrilege to decide what part of his text is to be published, and what other part is to be deleted! By which criteria would one judge Jules Verne's text relevant or not? Why keep this portion, and not this other one? The English reader/listener should - at the very least - be informed that this text is a shorter version of Jules Verne's original book. Plain honesty would be appropriate here.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea: A Tour of the Underwater World (French: Vingt mille lieues sous les mers: Tour du monde sous-marin, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: A Tour of the Underwater World") is a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne published in 1870. The novel was originally serialized from March 1869 through June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzel's periodical, the Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation. The deluxe illustrated edition, published by Hetzel in November 1871, included 111 illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou. The book was highly acclaimed when it was released and still is; it is regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The description of Nemo's ship, the Nautilus, was considered ahead of its time, as it accurately describes features on submarines, which at the time were very primitive vessels.
It's been some of the worst months of my life and I've completed this at a slow pace over the time span of 2 months.This is was a nice adventure and made me think a lot. I could actually keep up with a lot of his classification lingo thanks to a Zoology course, so that was nice.Thank you for uploading this, the story and narrator were great.
Have you ever tried any of the food served in the book? I feel like there's a whole cookbook worth of material here, tho I'm no expert on food I do love seafood.
I''ve found that one of the most interesting aspects of Verne's books is the comparison of the scientific knowledge of his time and ours, as well as seeing the points where the people of his time had the pure theory and mathematics correct, and yet had no grasp of the practical problems that we gained after years of experiences.
this was so helpful! im stressed with so much work and i have to do two reading assignments and many other assignments and listening to this just made me peaceful and i love how he changes his voice a little bit when he is talking as the other characters.
At the South pole the ice sits on a whole rocky continent. It moves in some areas as glaciers but most is static, and will remain so until a substantial amount has melted which frees some of the rest to flow as glaciers into that open space. But Jules Verne could no be expected to know this and it does not detract from this great story.
I read the short Version when I was 12 years old. It was one of the classics in a set "as retold by Kenneth .." it was great back then and Better now as I hear the full version as 65 year old adult.
I loved your reading of the book. I usually prefer to read printed books, but I was sick and wanted something less straining on the eyes. I tried several readings, and yours was perfect. The voice, the intonations, the way you change them slightly for different characters - and it fit the book wondefully. Thank you!
I'm always on the lookout for the best translation. Frederick Paul Walter is one of the best translators. Generally with Verne, the more recent, the better.
Love this book. Love the narration of this. However my copy from 1981 has much more inside the story (descriptions, dialogue, ect) and definitely uses different words in most sentences.
I believe this is the Lewis Mercier translation, which is infamous for cutting out about 20% of the original book and being filled with translation errors. It's the original English translation, so it's one of the most popular.
2hrs in.. This is awesome. I never imagined this would be so utterly brilliant... But I can't help but feel ( especially after speaking to a plethora of people under 35) - there's something profound and ugly happening to our language.... Never before have I suffered such a strong ambivalent notion for the modern de-evolution of the exquisite intricacies of the English language and ongoing absence and beauty linguistic achievements beheld for us to pursue a purity and strength of mind, rewarded by studies of the language... eventually disintegrating into the minimalistic drab and simplistic laziness of 21st century language... conceived stories governed by prolific indelible correct language is highly underestimated and receding.. ....Such is the development of the intellectual mind can be increased it also, can be minimised; to the folly of human artistic beauty...
seriously though, we can't be sure that this is how people talked back then. The main character was a "learned" man and it almost feels like he's being wordy just for the sake of being wordy, like he sat there with a thesaurus by his side. like he did use the word "whale" one time, only once, so it's established that the word "whale" existed and then for the rest of the time, he instead chose to say "cetacean" at one point, he said it so many times i could almost have turned it into a drinking game, "take a shot whenever he says cetacean". . . language evolves over time and even back then, or even earlier, especially in medeival times, people shorten words and mashed the words together in their speech and regional dialects and slang have always been a thing since the inception of language. it didn't start with millenials and their "lols" and their "fmls" and "ttyl" and "yolos" or the zoomers with their emojis or whatever it is they are using these days. . also gonna point out that i suspect much of the driving force behind the shortened "textspeak" was manyfold, firstmost because when cell phones came out, data transfer was expensive and phones didn't have keyboards so people had to make their texts short and to the point and they invented these abbreviations to make it easier an then it just stuck even after we now have unlimited talk and text plans now. the emojis thing, i dunno. i guess people just think it's "cute" I use them too. whenever i do a paypal to a friend, i use an emoji to remind what it was for..
That was sooo good. It's a book I wouldn't read because of the language, however, listening to it I could understand what was being said. Very well delivered!! Thank you
@@jamesaritchie1 I earn $110,000 AUD a year. I'm doing ok. Why would you even waste your time writing comments like this? Hope you have a pleasant day.
holly shit, to think that over the years the image of Nautilus and Captain Nemo became so different, there is even a fucking anime where he is an alien from outer space.
Personally, with as much trouble the shooting schedule was for the Disney movie, I would love to have been a part of the swimming and diving teams during the underwater exploration/funeral scenes.
It is a common misconception that the title refers to the depth to which the Nautilus can descend. No ocean is 20,000 leagues deep (that would be 60,000 miles). No, the title refers to the distance that the Nautilus has traveled.
This audiobook, for me atleast, is one of the best audiobooks written. For me it a relaxing well written and extremely well narrated audiobook. Disney's movie version I felt was an injustice to the novel and especially the character Captian Nemo. Does anyone know of any other audiobooks this narrator narrates? Thank you for the information and enjoy this excellent audiobook.
Hello there, I do not know how many other books that Micheal Prichard has narrated. Yet I saw you had no replies on a 4 month old comment. I just wanted to say hi. I hope you have an amazing rest of your day or night. Goodbye.
I have a question about the ending. Don't read if you haven't finished it yet! Why didn't Arronax just ask his companions how they escaped the maelstrom and about the events that took place? Did Jules Verne just not feel like giving us a conclusion? Seems like an awkward place to leave the story open to interpretation. Is there an answer to this?
Thanks so much for uploading this. I have taken lots of measurements and published some scientific papers. I really appreciate how much time he takes to describe how important it is for the scientifically- and navigationally knowledgeable people on board to take measurements and appreciate having time both to observe, to write up their results. This is a crucial aspect of science that a lot of people are unaware of. At the most, in films and on TV we see the "science officer" point a device at something and there's the data collected and analysis. Or we see serious people looking seriously at images on computer screens. And how Ned is tactfully described as an "unrefiective" person. It is fascinating to learn what ws known, what was suspected, and what was not known about in his time. It also reminds me of why reading the history of science is so instructive. We see how quite intelligent people make informed speculations (passing from Brazil to Africa in a trench, because the Mid-atlantic ridge was unknown) that are falsified by later knowledge. I'm impressed by this novel in ways I was not when I ws enchanted at age 11 by the pictures in the marvelous Classics Illustrated comic.

It is amazing that Jules had the imagination and knowledge to write a story of this caliber during his time.
That's what people who actually colonize the galaxy one day will say about current science fiction authors.
Jules Verne did not "invent" the submarine he merely expanded the history of very large submarine boats. Even so a wonderful story.

I, being an electronics engineer and having studied various other aspects of physics on a more or less casual basis over the last decade and change, take issue with perhaps no more than a 20th of the principles and apparatuses detailed, save for the ease at which their application is described. The water tightness at depth of a hull made from overlapping, riveted plates, the means by which the electricity used is obtained, and the construction of the free breathing apparatuses are the only true contentions I've taken with the technical aspects of the writing.

The book was highly acclaimed when it was released and still is; it is regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth.
The description of Nemo's ship, the Nautilus, was considered ahead of its time, as it accurately describes features on submarines, which at the time were very primitive vessels.
Nice copy and paste job. Must have been difficult 😞 😂😂😂👆🏻
@@AK-dw8jo It wasn’t a copy and paste job actually- It was thought up and written entirely from said persons soul. Everyone else is just jealous. 🤨😜
@@VIBEZZFLOOFN damn you are right.
My humblest apologies
Man wrote his homework on the wrong platform
@@AK-dw8jo so what if it was, it's giving others some information that they might not of seen otherwise.
I think writers like Jules Verne H.G. Wells had a much greater imagination and creativity than so many of the authors we have today.
alas; we call them classics ♡
Its because they had no distractions such as tv. Radio. And the modern stupidity of today
Great story in narrator thank you
They probably even knew that the Earth is round.
@@chrisdixon6062 that’s capitalism
It's been some of the worst months of my life and I've completed this at a slow pace over the time span of 2 months.This is was a nice adventure and made me think a lot. I could actually keep up with a lot of his classification lingo thanks to a Zoology course, so that was nice.Thank you for uploading this, the story and narrator were great.
Real good
Have you ever tried any of the food served in the book? I feel like there's a whole cookbook worth of material here, tho I'm no expert on food I do love seafood.
@@jasemalvis2140No, but I'd be interested--love seafood! I'll have to relisten and try some of it
Been over half a century since i last read the book. This is a treat. Thanks!
How does it hold up to your memory of it?
I've never read the book, I've only seen the Walt Disney adaption from back in the day.
Jaron Talotta - The book doesn’t have the anti-war subtext in the beginning that the Disney version did. I had forgotten that.
@@markjohnson3279
That is interesting. I would ask more questions, but I think I will finish the audiobook first.
Same
A most eloquently read recording,worthy of the author's praise.
Listened to this before and loved it. Back to listen again.
The narration is top quality
I''ve found that one of the most interesting aspects of Verne's books is the comparison of the scientific knowledge of his time and ours, as well as seeing the points where the people of his time had the pure theory and mathematics correct, and yet had no grasp of the practical problems that we gained after years of experiences.
*Cannot agree more!*

*You will also like this story!*
this was so helpful! im stressed with so much work and i have to do two reading assignments and many other assignments and listening to this just made me peaceful and i love how he changes his voice a little bit when he is talking as the other characters.
At the South pole the ice sits on a whole rocky continent. It moves in some areas as glaciers but most is static, and will remain so until a substantial amount has melted which frees some of the rest to flow as glaciers into that open space. But Jules Verne could no be expected to know this and it does not detract from this great story.
This audio book is fabulous!
Thank you for uploading this. After listening to it I can understand why it is considered a classic.
Thanks for the upload! Jules Verne is simply a legend.
This took so long to finish but it was worth it lol. I was having trouble pronouncing some words trying to read it for school and this helped. Thanks.
Read this when I was 15. A truly great book. Giving it a listen this time.
Read this and listened to the audiobook in late 80s early 90s ... can't believe I found it on YT lol
Great narrator- compelling story! Jules Verne is a legend!

I read the short Version when I was 12 years old. It was one of the classics in a set "as retold by Kenneth .." it was great back then and Better now as I hear the full version as 65 year old adult.
I loved your reading of the book. I usually prefer to read printed books, but I was sick and wanted something less straining on the eyes. I tried several readings, and yours was perfect. The voice, the intonations, the way you change them slightly for different characters - and it fit the book wondefully. Thank you!
Gotta read 200 pages tonight for school ✨procrastination✨ at it’s finest
Fantastic listen, I’m getting over the flu and this book has been marvellous
This is great! I've read this book twice, but I wanted to listen to it, as well. It's my favorite book ever! Thanks for posting!!!
history and its sort of a transition away from raiding pirates towards traveling just to document the oceans.
I'm always on the lookout for the best translation. Frederick Paul Walter is one of the best translators. Generally with Verne, the more recent, the better.
mine was until bram stokers dracula took that place this book made movies look like shit for me
Love this book. Love the narration of this. However my copy from 1981 has much more inside the story (descriptions, dialogue, ect) and definitely uses different words in most sentences.
I believe this is the Lewis Mercier translation, which is infamous for cutting out about 20% of the original book and being filled with translation errors. It's the original English translation, so it's one of the most popular.

Thank you for posting this! I have been stressed with Christmas and had to read this for school so I can listen to it while I work on Christmas!
Thank you so much for not saying that it is in public domain, for volunteering and all that stuff.
2hrs in.. This is awesome. I never imagined this would be so utterly brilliant...
But I can't help but feel ( especially after speaking to a plethora of people under 35) - there's something profound and ugly happening to our language....
Never before have I suffered such a strong ambivalent notion for the modern de-evolution of the exquisite intricacies of the English language and ongoing absence and beauty linguistic achievements beheld for us to pursue a purity and strength of mind, rewarded by studies of the language... eventually disintegrating into the minimalistic drab and simplistic laziness of 21st century language...
conceived stories governed by prolific indelible correct language is highly underestimated and receding..
....Such is the development of the intellectual mind can be increased it also, can be minimised; to the folly of human artistic beauty...
Word.
hmm.. perhaps. . ..quite. . .indeed.
I grow weary from my repast. I must now retire to my bedchambers.
seriously though, we can't be sure that this is how people talked back then. The main character was a "learned" man and it almost feels like he's being wordy just for the sake of being wordy, like he sat there with a thesaurus by his side. like he did use the word "whale" one time, only once, so it's established that the word "whale" existed and then for the rest of the time, he instead chose to say "cetacean" at one point, he said it so many times i could almost have turned it into a drinking game, "take a shot whenever he says cetacean". . .
language evolves over time and even back then, or even earlier, especially in medeival times, people shorten words and mashed the words together in their speech and regional dialects and slang have always been a thing since the inception of language.
it didn't start with millenials and their "lols" and their "fmls" and "ttyl" and "yolos" or the zoomers with their emojis or whatever it is they are using these days. .
also gonna point out that i suspect much of the driving force behind the shortened "textspeak" was manyfold, firstmost because when cell phones came out, data transfer was expensive and phones didn't have keyboards so people had to make their texts short and to the point and they invented these abbreviations to make it easier an then it just stuck even after we now have unlimited talk and text plans now.
the emojis thing, i dunno. i guess people just think it's "cute"
I use them too. whenever i do a paypal to a friend, i use an emoji to remind what it was for..
Yawn people have better things to do. Learn an entire new language if ours bothers you so much.
Bro it aint the younger generations fault. It urs
Thank you so much, excellent listen of a classic we thoroughly enjoyed at work in the wee small hours
I love this narrator michael prichard. Jules was so ahead of his time.
Thank you so much for making this I have a project on this book that is due in a week and I haven't read it.

That was sooo good. It's a book I wouldn't read because of the language, however, listening to it I could understand what was being said.
Very well delivered!!
Thank you
I assume your native language isn't English? If it is, you're going to spend your entire life asking one question. Do you want fries with that?
@@jamesaritchie1 I earn $110,000 AUD a year. I'm doing ok.
Why would you even waste your time writing comments like this?
Hope you have a pleasant day.
Jules Verne is a genius
2:16:09 "Now look at this clock! It is electrical!"
Oh, dear old 19th century SciFi
That's what people who actually colonize the galaxy one day will say about current science fiction authors.
@@azimovist that's terrifying and awesome at the same time
Which is infinitely better than 99% of twenty-first century science fiction.
James Ritchie you and I agree. Very poetic and scientific. Something current writers lack
Except of course my son ‘the writer’
The dynamic between Ned, Conseil, and Prof. Arronax always gets me ♥
Especially by the end, when they made it safe
Bitch spoilers
perhaps prefix your comment with SPOILER ALERT !
Thanks for the spoiler dickhead
Enjoying this very much - Thank you !
holly shit, to think that over the years the image of Nautilus and Captain Nemo became so different, there is even a fucking anime where he is an alien from outer space.
Every time they say "nautilus" you take a sip of beer.
I read it already in Korean version, now I'll try in English. Thank you
It is very much science fiction. Fiction imagined in light of the possibilities that science and engineering may allow. Not a blaster in sight!
Personally, with as much trouble the shooting schedule was for the Disney movie, I would love to have been a part of the swimming and diving teams during the underwater exploration/funeral scenes.
I always thought it was 20,000 leg's, under the sea, who CARE'S how deep the water is, there's something down there with 20,000 legs !!!!
It is a common misconception that the title refers to the depth to which the Nautilus can descend. No ocean is 20,000 leagues deep (that would be 60,000 miles). No, the title refers to the distance that the Nautilus has traveled.
rareimer Ooh
XD this made my day
Dark Krafter Right On
I NEVER got past the cover
This audiobook, for me atleast, is one of the best audiobooks written. For me it a relaxing well written and extremely well narrated audiobook. Disney's movie version I felt was an injustice to the novel and especially the character Captian Nemo. Does anyone know of any other audiobooks this narrator narrates? Thank you for the information and enjoy this excellent audiobook.
Hello there, I do not know how many other books that Micheal Prichard has narrated. Yet I saw you had no replies on a 4 month old comment. I just wanted to say hi. I hope you have an amazing rest of your day or night. Goodbye.
Look him up on google he has a nice body of work in the audiobook world.
Thanks for posting this I enjoyed this very much I listened most every night for the last eight months
Seems a few people listen to this one before bed. Very relaxing and let's your mind relax as well.
i need this so my teacher will think i actually read the book and didnt just search it up
Great share from you, thanks.
Amazing story! Thank you.
Great reading job. Thank you.
Absolutely phenomenal
I think there is a movie about this. Its been so long ago ive seen it but i still recognise a lot of parts in the story.
Nothing quite like a good story telling voice.
jules verne what an imaginaton that man had
A great book, and very well read, although it should possibly have been entitled "20000 meals under the sea" 😂🥳

I have a question about the ending. Don't read if you haven't finished it yet!
Why didn't Arronax just ask his companions how they escaped the maelstrom and about the events that took place? Did Jules Verne just not feel like giving us a conclusion? Seems like an awkward place to leave the story open to interpretation. Is there an answer to this?
Thanks so much for uploading this. I have taken lots of measurements and published some scientific papers. I really appreciate how much time he takes to describe how important it is for the scientifically- and navigationally knowledgeable people on board to take measurements and appreciate having time both to observe, to write up their results. This is a crucial aspect of science that a lot of people are unaware of. At the most, in films and on TV we see the "science officer" point a device at something and there's the data collected and analysis. Or we see serious people looking seriously at images on computer screens. And how Ned is tactfully described as an "unrefiective" person. It is fascinating to learn what ws known, what was suspected, and what was not known about in his time. It also reminds me of why reading the history of science is so instructive. We see how quite intelligent people make informed speculations (passing from Brazil to Africa in a trench, because the Mid-atlantic ridge was unknown) that are falsified by later knowledge.
I'm impressed by this novel in ways I was not when I ws enchanted at age 11 by the pictures in the marvelous Classics Illustrated comic.
Thanks for making this. It really helped me with my book report down quicker!
lmaoo same
Yep.
Excellent book and reading, what a fantastic nautical tale!
Well if I guess if nautical nonsense is something you wish. Then again you could've just dropped on the deck and flopped like a fish
