Staff Reviews


Jules Verne’s beloved nautical adventure predicts nearly all of the workings of a modern submarine in its depiction of the Nautilus, an outlaw undersea vessel commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo, while further exploring the mysteries of the South Pole, tunnels beneath the Suez, hollow volcanoes, the lost continent of Atlantis, monstrous whales and cetaceans, and so much more. The level of research and care poured into this celebration of marine biology ensure its place among the greatest novels of its generation, centuries ahead of its time.

Description


The dark and mysterious depths of the ocean - and all the dangers that immersed within - have fascinated mankind since the beginning of time, and master storyteller Jules Verne captured that sense of wonderment and adventure in his 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Seen through the eyes of marine biologist Pierre Aronnax, readers meet the mysterious and vengeful Captain Nemo, whose monstrous creation the Nautilus plunges the two men along the eponymous 20,000-league journey which ends with tragedy and uncertainty. Twenty-thousand Leagues is among Verne's most popular novels, all of which influenced a burgeoning science fiction genre.
