Jules Verne ~5 hr read

Aboard the Nautilus, Aronnax and his companions journey on beneath the world's oceans, past sunken Atlantis, polar ice, and the giant squid, as Captain Nemo's dark purpose deepens toward its end.

This is the original French text (part two) of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. Visionary, thrilling, immortal. Read it for the climactic half of the incomparable undersea epic in Verne's own language, the wonders and terrors of the deep, and the tragic mystery of Nemo himself, in the master's beloved cornerstone of scientific romance.
