Jules Verne is considered to be an important author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation was markedly different in the Anglosphere where he had often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed. Since the 1980s, his literary reputation has improved.

Gerd Köster, eine der beliebtesten Vorlesestimmen Deutschlands, startet eine neue Hörbuch-Reihe mit den legendären Krimis um den Meisterdetektiv Sherlock Holmes und seinen Begleiter Dr. Watson. Die ungekürzten Lesungen auch selten gehörter Geschichten werden durch Kösters Einfühlungsvermögen, Ausdruck und Wandlungsfähigkeit zu neuem Leben erweckt. Über Kösters Sprecherqualitäten schrieb die "Buchkritik": "Köster wechselt - je nach Stimmung und Figur - immer wieder die Tonlage und schafft so schon fast ein Ein-Personen-Hörspiel. Ein ganzes Ensemble von Sprechern könnte es kaum besser machen."

Jules Verne is considered to be an important author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. VOLUME 1: The year 1866 was signalised by a remarkable incident, a mysterious and puzzling phenomenon, which doubtless no one has yet forgotten. Not to mention rumours which agitated the maritime population and excited the public mind, even in the interior of continents, seafaring men were particularly excited.

The rollicking humorous ribald story of soldiers in World War I carrying on and living and dying in war, worthy of Catch-22 fame. Translated from German into modern American English with a simplification of place names, as well as people's names, to not distract the American listener from unfamiliar names and places and stay focused on the story itself.

Shipwrecked on an unknown island, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself not merely a fish out of water, but a very big fish in a small pond. He awakens to find himself tied to the ground by the natives of Lilliput—tiny people small enough to fit in his pocket and play hide and seek in his hair!

VOLUME 2: We now come to the second part of our journey under the sea. The first ended with the moving scene in the coral cemetery which left such a deep impression on my mind. Thus, in the midst of this great sea, Captain Nemo's life was passing, even to his grave, which he had prepared in one of its deepest abysses.
