Summary
Summary
Science fiction novelist Jules Verne unlocks the awe-inspiring secrets of the ocean with this exciting tale of adventure within the murky depths. In 1886, Professor Pierre Aronnax undertakes a United States government expedition in the Atlantic Ocean, plunging him into a watery world of breathtaking excitement and danger.
When Professor Aronnax sets out to find and kill the sea monster that has been wrecking ships, he expects to remain on top of the briny main. But his new acquaintance, Captain Nemo, has other ideas. Soon the professor is witnessing a fantastic undersea life never before dreamt of—and dodging relentless pursuers.
Remarkably ahead of his time, Jules Verne described in this classic the possibilities of extensive submarine travel and scuba diving while they were still in their infancy.

Author Bio: Jules Verne
Jules Verne (1828–1905) is considered by many the father of science fiction. Born in Nantes, France, he studied law but turned to writing opera libretti until the 1863 publication of Five Weeks in a Balloon, the first of his Extraordinary Voyages series. Its success encouraged him to produce a number of classic and prophetic science fiction novels, including Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. His stories foresaw many scientific and technological developments, including the submarine, television, and space travel.
