Publisher Description
Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea is a classic tale written by Jules Verne and first published in 1870. A mission to rid the seas of a monstrous creature becomes a terrifying nightmare when Professor Arronax, Conseil and Ned Land are thrown overboard. The huge marine animal which has haunted the water is no living beast, but a spectacular man-made vessel, and the three men find themselves the helpless prisoners of Captain Nemo. Resigned to their fate, they begin a miraculous journey on the submarine ship which can travel through waters never before explored. For the Professor, at least, this voyage is one he would not have missed for the world.

Brilliant novel
I love this book
Mr. W
Twenty Thousand leagues under the sea, written by Jules Verne, is a fantastic fictional tale of three unsuspecting shipmates comprising of a Canadian wailer and a French professor accompanied by his faithful servant unintentionally becoming permanent guests aboard the submarine vessel known as the Nautilus.
The novel is a brilliant work written about a machine in great detail before it was ever invented. The ideas and detail throughout the novel bring the words to life. Jules Verne portrayed believable characters and has created a classic story that will stand the test of time.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a fantastic read for anyone who enjoys science fiction or someone who simply wants a classic adventure story that takes place in the Earth's final frontier: The depths of the Ocean.
