The most exciting underwater adventure ever!
In 1866 a mysterious giant whale savagely attacks ships in international seas. A famous French marine biologist, Pierre Aronnax, joins the hunt to track down and incapacitate the creature. With him are his loyal servant, Conseil, and redoubtable Canadian harpooner Ned Land. They soon find that their enemy is no sea beast but a brilliantly designed submarine. They are captured and imprisoned by its master, the sinister Captain Nemo. The story is relentlessly thrilling while containing beautifully written observations of underwater life.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has been hugely influential on popular culture, having inspired several stage and film adaptations, including a Walt Disney film with Kirk Douglas. Captain Nemo also appears as a main character in the graphic novel and film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Bill Homewood's distinctive voice is perfect for the French classics: He has previously read The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Three Musketeers for Naxos AudioBooks and is "...a narrator so perfectly matched to his material that you can't help but smile" (The Times).

The story is still as riveting as I found it as a child but ending in an anticlimax. The superb narration buffs up the quality of the experience nevertheless. Great for a casual listen particularly when traveling around coastal territories.
Passion for the seas

This is one of the happy exceptions.
Bill Homewood has a formal style of narration, complete with trilled Rs. It takes some getting used to, but it lends itself well to the lyrical descriptions of nature that appear here, and when the narrative picks up speed and passion, so does his voice. He is good at differentiating Verne’s characters, and he also, almost paradoxically given his formality, captures well some of the more humorous moments of Aronnax’s narrative.
FURTHER NOTE ON THE TRANSLATION. The translation Naxos used for this — an excellent one — is by FP Walter. At one time it was in the public domain, although I believe it has since been withdrawn. Walter published a much-revised translation as part of an anthology entitled “Amazing Journeys” (SUNY Press, 2010). He has since passed on. If you want his last take on the novel, that anthology is the place to go. In the meantime this is one of the best audio versions of the novel available, and it deserves points for at least giving the translator credit — there are more than a few audio versions of this translation that don’t bother to mention him.
A good one
