20,000 Leagues Under The Sea And Other Classic Novels by Jules Verne
An enthralling voyage beneath the world’s oceans follows a marine scientist, his loyal assistant, and a stubborn harpooner who are taken aboard a mysterious, technologically advanced submarine commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo; as they traverse the seas they encounter marvels and perils—underwater forests, coral kingdoms, sunken wrecks and a titanic squid—and are drawn into conflicts that explore scientific hubris, freedom and revenge. Combining vivid natural description, imaginative engineering, and brisk adventure, the collection pairs pulse-quickening exploits with thoughtful meditations on humanity’s relationship to nature and the uses of knowledge.
