Blurb taken from back cover:
“Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” is perhaps the best known and the most typical of Jules Verne’s novels. In this, as in all his novels, he brings into play the effective and imaginative use of science as a framework for his stories. In creating the fantastic Nautilus, he predicted the invention of the submarine.
The idealistic, truth-seeking Captain Nemo is the master of the Nautilus, whose voyage turns out to be the strangest and most adventurous in modern literature. “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” remains to this day a classic in its field.
