A thrilling illustrated edition of one of the greatest adventure novels in world literature. In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne sends readers beneath the waves aboard the mysterious submarine Nautilus, commanded by the brilliant, secretive, and unforgettable Captain Nemo. When Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant Conseil, and the harpooner Ned Land are taken aboard Nemo's vessel, they enter a hidden world of coral forests, sunken ruins, giant sea creatures, polar dangers, and wonders no surface traveler has ever seen.
Verne's novel combines scientific imagination, high adventure, and mythic mystery with remarkable power. The voyage of the Nautilus is more than an underwater expedition; it is a journey into freedom, obsession, revenge, discovery, and isolation. Captain Nemo remains one of Verne's most compelling creations: a genius, an exile, a rebel, and a haunted man whose command of technology allows him to escape the world while never fully escaping its wounds.
This illustrated edition brings new visual life to Verne's classic tale of ocean exploration and technological wonder. For readers of classic adventure, early science fiction, maritime fiction, and timeless imaginative literature, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea remains one of the essential works of the nineteenth century and one of the most influential novels ever written about the mysteries beneath the sea.
