French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax and his unwavering aide Conseil join a US Navy operation to find and kill an unnamed "monster" that is endangering international trade. When they eventually confront their target after months of fruitless searching, Aronnax, Conseil, and the brazen Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the assault, only to discover that the "monster" is actually the Nautilus, a futuristic submarine under the command of a mysterious, imposing, and shadowy man known only as Captain Nemo. This marks the start of a 20,000 league—almost 50,000 mile—journey that will lead these three intrepid explorers, Captain Nemo, and his crew through miles-deep tunnels, coral graveyards, underwater forests, and even the submerged remains of Atlantis. Since its first publication in 1870, Jules Verne's book of underwater exploration has captivated readers. Frederick Paul Walter's reader-friendly, scientifically exacting translation of this groundbreaking work of science fiction is comprehensive and unedited down to the last significant detail.
