Published in 1870, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is Jules Verne’s most scientifically visionary novel. Professor Aronnax and his companions are captured by the enigmatic, brilliant, and embittered Captain Nemo and taken aboard his extraordinary submarine, the Nautilus, on an underwater voyage around the world — from the Atlantic to the Pacific, across coral reefs and ancient shipwrecks, beneath polar ice and to the lost city of Atlantis.
Verne’s imagination of submarine technology was so prescient that it seems remarkable the book was written before submarines were practically viable. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg and dive in.
