About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Survivors of the Chancellor by Jules Verne. Read in English by Joseph DeNoia The Survivors of the Chancellor is a poignant and tragic tale of terror and intrigue on the high seas. Through raging storms, emaciating hunger and thirst, shipwreck and mutiny…follow the passengers of The Chancellor as they descend from one layer of hell to the next; never knowing if they will live another day. Horrific tragedy befalls them one after another, chipping away at the resolve and sanity of the passengers and crew. This tale is told in the first person, from the point of view of one of the passengers, J. R. Kazallon. He and seven other passengers debark from Charleston, South Carolina with twenty crew…and never arrive at their destination in England. (Summary by Joe DeNoia)
