Whatever happened to Captain Nemo

4 étoiles

I re-read (or just read) this classic recently, because a song from the 1970 audio story with Jean Gabin was in loop in my head for whatever reason. I thought I'd finally remember who was really the Captain Nemo and what happened to him. Alas, Jules Verne was more interested in fish naming than in backstory. Oh well, still an excellent classic full of cool fishes and visionary science.
