(4.2 stars; 47 reviews)

Topsy Turvy is a translation of Sans dessus dessous (1889) . This anonymous translation was first published by J. G. Ogilvie (New York, 1890). We meet our old friends Barbicane and J.T. Maston from “Earth to the Moon” who now give us their own approach to the topic of “global warming”. Although they are searching for coal and not oil, readers will find that the auction of the Arctic energy reserves has a definite 21st century ring. (Summary from the Gutenberg e-text.)

This project was proof listened by stonie1914 and Betty M. (4 hr 26 min)

(5 stars)

bravo Patrick Wells! I LOVE to hear a youth read so beautifully. he read better then most adults I have heard read books from this era. good book as well with a lot of good readers

A little far-fetched but fun.


(3.5 stars)

Alittle far-fetched but fun, typical Jules Verne but not as elaborate as his other stories. the readers did a good job.
