Audible.com is offering a new reading (in English) of "Journey to the Center of the Earth." Translator unfortunately uncredited, but at least it's not Prof Otto Hardwigg and his nephew Harry!
If it's any help in identifying the translation, Lidenbrock throws his "nutcracker" cane into the corner and is in danger of becoming "an original." It's not Malleson, but I haven't turned up the source yet in my personal collection of English versions.
The reading is by Tim Curry - a bit old to be doing Axel, but quite enjoyable so far. (I've listened to the first three chapters.)
Audible has also produced a new recording of Robur the Conqueror, which I haven't looked at yet.
