Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea pt. 9

Tonight, we’ll read the next part to “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne. In the last episode, Captain Nemo and Professor Arronax smoke seaweed cigars together as they chat in the saloon. Nemo explains that the Nautilus is the perfect ship both due to its electrical power and the fact that, travelling below the surface of the water, it is unimpeded by things like storms, just as he is rich enough to be unimpeded from financial constraints. As “captain, builder, and engineer” of the vessel, Nemo has utmost faith in it. — read by N — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
