With an exclusive introduction and notes by David Stuart Davies.

Translation by Louis Mercier.

Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is not only a classic science fiction novel, it is also a thrilling adventure yarn.

Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant Conseil and Canadian harpooner Ned Land are held prisoners aboard the fantastic submarine, the Nautilus, by its enigmatic and charismatic commander, Captain Nemo: 'That terrible avenger, a perfect archangel of hatred.'

And so begins a hazardous and eventful voyage which leads them from the lost city of Atlantis, to the South Pole, hunting in underwater forests and to an encounter with a ferocious giant squid.

Published in 1870, the novel continues to fascinate and engage the reader, presenting as it does an incredible journey into a mysterious world of excitement and danger!

Interesting as an example of early sci-fi, but dated now and difficult to read. The prose hasn't aged too well, the relationships between the characters are static and two-dimensional, the descriptions - while... More
