Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas
French naturalist Dr Aronnax embarks on an expedition to hunt down a sea monster, but discovers instead the Nautilus, a self-contained world built by its enigmatic captain. Together Nemo and Aronnax explore the underwater realms of the globe, undergo a transcendental experience amongst the ruins of Atlantis, and plant a black flag at the South Pole. Nemo's mission is finally revealed to be a violent one and his methods coldly efficient.
Verne's classic novel has left a profound mark on subsequent centuries. It's themes are universal, it's style alternately humorous and grandiose, it's 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 The volume also contains unpublished information about the novel's inception.
