Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Anthony Bonner When an unidentified “monster” threatens
international shipping French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax
and his unflappable assistant Conseil join an expedition
organized by the US Navy to hunt down and destroy the
menace. After months of fruitless searching they finally
grapple with their quarry but Aronnax Conseil and the
brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in
the attack only to find that the “monster” is actually a
futuristic submarine the Nautilus commanded by a shadowy
mystical preternaturally imposing man who calls himself
Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20000
leagues—nearly 50000 miles—that will take Captain Nemo his
crew and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery
through undersea forests coral graveyards miles-deep
trenches and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis. Jules
Verne’s novel of undersea exploration has been captivating
readers ever since its first publication in 1870 and
Frederick Paul Walter’s reader-friendly scientifically
meticulous translation of this visionary science fiction
classic is complete and unabridged down to the smallest
substantive detail.
