(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Jules Verne
"The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe."
Professor Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and the harpooner Ned Land are captured and taken aboard the Nautilus — a submarine of astonishing power and elegance, commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. What follows is a voyage of ten months under every ocean on earth: through coral forests and polar ice, past sunken cities and shipwrecks, encountering every wonder and terror the deep sea holds.
Published in 1870, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is Jules Verne's most technically audacious novel — a work of scientific imagination so precise that it anticipated submarines, diving equipment, and underwater exploration by decades. Captain Nemo remains one of literature's most compelling anti-heroes: brilliant, wounded, and impossibly free. A novel that invented the world it described.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Verne's original, unabridged text — a perfect gift for lovers of adventure, science fiction, and the sea.
