Mine as well! Just finished Master Of The World. I've just decided to build my personal library of my favorite classics both in print and audio. This is my second book and download. If the world goes to shit, I'm going to sit back in my cabin in the woods and enjoy my favorite stories.
This is my quiet and stressless place I feel so loved, calm, and quiet here. Thank you for posting this video it helps with the hard and overwhelming times 💜
I enjoy the Arthur Lane readings ….. however they are created, they are done well. I’d love love to hear “ the visiting star” ? By Robert Aickman / thank you for posting this one
Ive seen this book somewhere before in my childhood but i can't exactly remember from where, i very vaguely remember being intrigued by it in some way or another, im thinking as a child i maybe seen it somewhere and looked through it at the pictures and the cover maybe. Or maybe it was in another life lol but its weirdly familiar in some way.
I appreciate the effort in making this book, but given there are extended advertising breaks litterly every 5-minutes, it has made it impossible to watch and I have given up.. I don't think that it makes sense to have over 130 ad breaks in an audio book like this, maybe one a chapter could be acceptable...
@@JMBeaushriimp @marklee5777 The translation dates from 1911, so technically not the 19th century, but it is quite old nonetheless. This, however, is the most recent translation that is available in the public domain. We would be happy to record this book again in a more modern translation as soon as one of you purchases a license for us to use it.
@@gatesofimagination A lot of those earlier translations were made by toiling anonymous scholars with great artistic skill. Their work often preserves the period flavour of the original in all its eloquence better than a more recent version produced by someone more highly paid but unable or unwilling to form complex sentences in English that would convey the literary style of the author. And publishers will simply remind the translator that today's readership isn't equipped to handle that sort of prose. Or so they would maintain. Thanks for such a fine reading. Clearly, you've made an enormous investment of time and energy in bringing this fine old book to us in a new form.
@vestibulate a good story doesn't need complex sentences. All it needs is to be imaginative and good description. Complex sentences are for people who want to feel smarter than they really are.
You are correct. Jules Verne wrote for entertainment AND education (for his time). Therefore many of his books interrupt the action with quasi-endless descriptions of fauna, flora, landscapes, topography. the French have long resorted to abridging Verne's novels to make them more palatable to a wider public. 20,000 Leagues is one book where abridging is clearly justified to separate a good plot from the superfluous extended natural history lessons. Note that all films based on Jules Verne novels focus only on the plot and the action of the books, never on endless descriptions.

Nemo is bitcoin billionaire who became sovereign citizen of international waters.
😅 and then the XRP maelstrom carried him away to new adventures…
Nemo was an old world remnant that fought for his civilization that was snatched by todays overlords

Too many commercials
Narratrice : Arthur LANE : IMPECCABLE magic carpet voice bears you away to a wonderland. Spectacular writing.❤
Can't sleep for the stupid commercials😢
Way too many ads waaaay
Loosing interest at advertising every few minutes
I see you guys are using the bad old English translation from the 19th century. There are good modern translations. What a pity!
You just pissed a lot of people off...
@@JMBeaushriimp True, what a dipshit

About the frequency of the ads ... there's no such thing as a free lunch! Audible is the alternative but you'll have to PAY 🙃😂.
Why does the story jump from the island hunt to the Nautilus's and the drugging back to the attack of the savages 🤔
This fellow mighrt be Elon Musk's nemesis 😅
