The Jules Verne Library

Jules Verne

The Jules Verne Library invites the listener on a voyage not across oceans or continents, but through the printed page itself. Here are preserved the complete works of Jules Verne, read in full and without interruption, allowing the imagination to travel as it once did - by patience, attention, and wonder.  Within these recordings lie submarines that roam the abyss, balloons that survey the globe, and minds that dare to calculate the impossible. Each book is presented entire, as its author conceived it, so that invention, discovery, and adventure may unfold at their proper pace. This is a library for explorers of thought: a place where science dreams aloud, and the future is reached one chapter at a time.
