FWIW, I looked at the available Audible versions and the ones by the better narrators are all the shorter versions, so likely based on the old translation.
I found the eBook searching for Verne.

Given how long the book is (regular version), some of the audiobooks are way too short.

Thing is, given that this special edition of Jules Verne's classic novel corrects more than 3000 errors in the original 1872 English translation, what about the story isn't correct in the version posted to MR?
