About this audiobook
The quiet community of Quiquendone can’t be found on any map. There is no crime, no raised voices, no conflict of any kind. And when the enigmatic Dr. Ox ventures into the town and proposes to light the town with a mysterious gas at his own expense, the town elders applaud the proposal.
But soon it becomes evident that the secret gas feeds on a different sort of combustion.
Jules Verne
Jules Verne (1828-1905) used a combination of scientific facts and his imagination to take readers on extraordinary imaginative journeys to fantastic places. In such books as Around the World in Eighty Days, From the Earth to the Moon, and Journey to the Center of the Earth, he predicted many technological advances of the twentieth century, including the invention of the automobile, telephone, and nuclear submarines, as well as atomic power and travel to the moon by rocket.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Dr. Ox has come to town and is exposing the citizens to massive doses of oxyhydron for the good of scientific research.This is a short novella but I could not bring myself to finish it. I've read Verne's popular works and enjoyed them very much but found this incredibly boring. It is supposed to be a comedy but between the 19th century science discussions and the droning on about opera, I'm not sure which put me to sleep first. The book itself does have merits. My copy is illustrated by William Pene du Bois, who is an exceptional children's illustrator. I actually purchased the book because of the illustrations. There is also an extensive bibliography at the back which details the first English publications of all Verne's work including novels, stories, plays and non-fiction. The bibliography is also illustrated with pictures taken from the original editions.A good book to look at, but I wouldn't advise reading it.
