Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea
eBook
( Feb. 4, 2014)
“The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite. ”
First published in 1870, Verne’s amazing undersea adventure is one of the earliest science fiction novels ever written. Since that time, generations of readers have plunged below the ocean’s waves with Captain Nemo and his first-ever submarine, The Nautilus. It’s a voyage of exploration and the imagination.
A deadly and huge sea monster is sinking ships. Three men -- a French scientist, his trusty sidekick, and a Canadian harpoonist are thrown from the deck of their American warship. A door opens on the side of the monster, and they are taken inside the greatest submarine in the world commanded by a madman who will take them 20,000 leagues into the depths. Will the three men spend their final days locked inside Nemo’s strange underwater craft, the Nautilus?
