“Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” is the classic science-fiction novel by the French writer Jules Verne. It tells the story of the brave, devoted-to-science Professor Pierre Aronnax and his friends—the witty, cheerful Conseil and the fearless Canadian harpooner Ned Land—who, by sheer chance, end up on the “Nautilus,” the amazing underwater ship of the mysterious Captain Nemo. This is the account of their dangerous and thrilling adventures in the ocean and its depths.
