The Jules Verne Library

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.Public domain Hourly

    In which our travellers, upon awakening to a new luminary distinct from their familiar moon, harmoniously set about regulating life on their frozen and barren orb, while exploring the limits of their icy domain and marveling at the gentle calm of an extraordinary volcanic eruption. They also witness the curious transformation of the sea from a liquid stillness into a solid expanse by the lightest touch, revealing the strange and delicate laws that govern this alien world.
