Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

by Verne, Jules

Paperback - English

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.

About Author

Jules Verne was a French writer and pioneer of the science fiction genre through novels like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, and The Mysterious Island. A visionary, Verne wrote about air, space, and underwater travel long before the ability to travel in these realms was invented, and his works remain amongst the most translated, most continually reprinted, and most widely read books of all time. Jules Verne died in 1905 having paved the way for future science fiction writers and enthusiasts.
