Review: Vingt mille lieues sous les mers, by Jules Verne For Free French Practice, Together

Once again, thank you to Librivox.org.  Waiting on pins and needles, still, as I schedule this for Lupin Part 3 to start up again, with Omar Sy!!!

Excellent story of human pain, but horrid story of revenge.
I’ve never heard about the idea of Captain Nemo and his potential 600 passengers all being refugees from the world, as if the Nautilus were some giant underwater monastery.

“L’auteur semble avoir a ses mains l’équivalent 19eme de Jane’s Ships and…
Jules Verne seems to have had the 19th century version of Jane’s!!”
“As in cndr later Admiral Farragut, of the battle of New Orleans, I think?”

 “Fin de chapitre 6: Excelente scene de “chasse”
End of chapter 6: great “chase” scene”
 “Chapitre 8 😀😆😆 Parler bien et bellement une langue, ça la fasse entendre ? 😆😆😆😀😀

Chapter 8 😆😆 Lol!! Speaking a language beautifully makes it understandable? 😆😆😆”

“This Canadian whaler guy is hysterical! Obviously he’s the comic relief even if he does make Americans look a bit stupid.”
“What?! Escape: and it doesn’t occur to these guys that someone could be listening to them who does understand French or english, and simply pretended not to understand either language?”
fanon de baleine
(Sorry, no clue what the word is in English…)”
“Chapitre 15 : Oui, ce changement de lectrice c’est un peu gênant.”
“La chasse dans le forêt de la Mer ! Chouette !!”
“Volcans submarin”
November 1, 2020 –page 268, 44.22%”Ned hunts for fun, not for food… ☹️”
“Merci le Capitain Nemo !”
“Sont les foques vraiment si intelligents que ça ?
(Chapitre 2-14: parti II, chapitre 14)”
 “Bravo, mr. Conseil ! Parle en 2me personne a ton maître et venge toi de cette bette en le mangent !!”
November 2, 2020 –page 501, 82.67% “La changement climatique par Jules Verne !
Verne on climat change!”

Sorry, this one was pretty good, but M. Verne is still no Alexandre Dumas, pr..
