Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
Overview & Summary
Marine biologist Professor Aronnax is taken captive aboard the Nautilus, a technologically astonishing submarine commanded by the enigmatic, embittered Captain Nemo, and together they explore the ocean depths, encountering giant squid, sunken civilizations, and the mystery of Nemo's true motives. Jules Verne's 1870 novel is a foundational work of science fiction, remarkable for imagining submarine technology decades ahead of its real invention.
