One odd detail: all these books were shelved indiscriminately without regard to the language in which they were written, and this jumble proved that the Nautilus's captain could read fluently whatever volumes he chanced to pick up.
Detalle curioso era el hecho de que todos aquellos libros, cualquiera que fuese la lengua en que estaban escritos, se hallaran clasificados indistintamente. Tal mezcla probaba que el capitán del Nautilus debía leer corrientemente los volúmenes que su mano tomaba al azar.
