Ardis Audio Studio presents Jules Verne’s adventure novel “The Chancellor,” published in 1874. It is presented as the diary of a passenger aboard the English ship of the same name, recounting what he experienced during the four months after the shipwreck.
The events take place aboard a sinking ship, and in the book Jules Verne touches on topics such as natural selection and a return to barbarism under extreme conditions, while preserving classic elements of the adventure genre—including the rescue of the narrator-passenger.
