This adventure novel by Jules Verne follows the journey of a small whaling ship. The text reflects the formal Greek language used in early twentieth century publications. You will encounter nautical terminology and descriptive vocabulary related to maritime travel. The sentences are structured with a degree of complexity typical of literature from that era, often using formal syntax and varied clauses. It is a suitable choice for readers who wish to engage with classic narrative styles and historical linguistic patterns in Greek.

Questions about this book
What level of Greek do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 9 h 15 min at a native pace, spread over 39 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
