Originally serialized between March 1869 and June 1870, Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” is one of the greatest underwater sea adventures of all time. It is the story of Professor Pierre Aronnax who sets off aboard an American frigate to investigate a series of attacks, which has been reported to be made by an amphibious monster. The monster in question is actually the submarine vessel the ‘Nautilus,’ which is commanded by the eccentric Captain Nemo. When the Nautilus destroys the Professor’s ship, he is taken prisoner by Captain Nemo along with his trusted servant Conseil and the frigate’s harpooner Ned Land. What follows for the three is a tale of great adventure and scientific wonder. An early pioneer of science fiction, Jules Verne’s work is noted for its prediction of scientific advancements. In the case of “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” Verne accurately forecasted the development of submarine vessels. It is at once a harbinger of technology to come and captivating tale of adventure which has delighted readers ever since its original publication. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, is translated by F. P. Walter, and illustrated by Milo Winter.

Brilliant story with great illustrations!
5 out of 5 stars
Brilliant story with great illustrations!
This is a timeless, classic novel. Although I rarely read fiction novels, I'm glad that I read this book. Most of us know the basics of the story, so I'll discuss this version of the book. The cover draws people in when they see it at work. This version has 110 illustrations reproduced from the first few editions. Jules Verne is clearly fascinated by a new (to him) invention, electricity. The author has an amazing knowledge of marine life, geography and science. He also has the ability to tell an outrageous story and make it seem real.

Jules Verne was a man beyond his time and so was Captian Nemo. Reading this book was like exploring the very depths of the ocean and his mind. This is a journey I will certain come back to again and again.

If you've seen all the films and TV shows just read the original book and you'll be transported back in time to understand the idea of Nemo and his submarine. The author is incredible and wrote about so many incredible things. Sit down and enjoy

Love this version. Feels like it should cost more than it does, and of course the story itself is an absolute classic. I had forgotten how great it actually was! Recommended.
