In Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Jules Verne invites readers on a visionary voyage beneath the waves—an epic of science, mystery, and human ingenuity. When reports of a terrifying sea monster stir fear and fascination across the globe in 1866, renowned marine biologist Professor Pierre Aronnax is drawn into the hunt. Accompanied by his loyal servant Conseil and the skeptical harpooner Ned Land, Aronnax joins an American expedition aboard the frigate Abraham Lincoln to uncover the truth behind the elusive creature.

What begins as a pursuit of the unknown soon plunges the trio into the depths of an extraordinary world, as they are captured by the enigmatic Captain Nemo and taken aboard the Nautilus—a marvel of undersea engineering far beyond its time. As they travel twenty thousand leagues through the oceans, encountering wonders and terrors alike, the boundaries between discovery and obsession blur. With lyrical prose and visionary detail, Verne crafts a timeless exploration of nature, isolation, and the unrelenting pursuit of knowledge.
