20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Science fiction novelist Jules Verne unlocks the awe-inspiring secrets of the ocean with this exciting tale of adventure within the murky depths. In 1886, Professor Pierre Aronnax undertakes a United States government expedition in the Atlantic Ocean, plunging him into a watery world of breathtaking excitement and danger.
When Professor Aronnax sets out to find and kill the sea monster that has been wrecking ships, he expects to remain on top of the briny main. But his new acquaintance, Captain Nemo, has other ideas. Soon the professor is witnessing a fantastic undersea life never before dreamt of—and dodging relentless pursuers.
Remarkably ahead of his time, Jules Verne described in this classic the possibilities of extensive submarine travel and scuba diving while they were still in their infancy.
