Also known as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Vingt mille lieues sous les mers
Synopsis
A professor hunting a supposed sea monster is taken aboard the Nautilus and kept there by Captain Nemo, who has turned his back on the surface world. Verne’s leagues are distance traveled, not depth, and the book is a cabinet of wonders that slowly reveals the captain’s grief.
