Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas

A classic science fiction novel by French author Jules Verne, first published in 1870. The story follows Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and a Canadian whaler named Ned Land, who are captured by Captain Nemo aboard the mysterious submarine, the Nautilus. As they journey through the world's oceans, they encounter exotic sea creatures, hidden treasures, and the dangers of the deep. Verne’s novel is both an adventurous tale of exploration and a commentary on human curiosity, technology, and the unknown. Its visionary depiction of submarine travel and underwater exploration has made it a timeless masterpiece in the genre.

Verne's classic novel has left a profound mark on subsequent centuries. Its themes are universal, its style alternately humorous and grandiose, its construction masterly.

This new and unabridged translation brilliantly conveys the range of this seminal work. The volume also contains unpublished information about the novel's inception.
