20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
(Heinle Reading Library) by VERNE
A Great Title!
A mission to rid the seas of a monstrous creature becomes a terrifying
nightmare when Professor Arronax, Conseil and Ned Land are thrown
overboard. The huge marine animal which has haunted the water is no
living beast, but a spectacular man-made vessel, and the three men find
themselves the helpless prisoners of Captain Nemo. Resigned to their fate,
they begin a miraculous journey on the submarine ship which can travel
through waters never before explored. For the Professor, at least, this
voyage is one he would not have missed for the world.
Personal Review: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Heinle
Reading Library) by VERNE
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is one of those classics that has so made
its imprint upon SF and popular culture that one needn't have read the
book to know its features: the dark genius, Captain Nemo; the futuristic
Nautilus with its thousand strange inventions and capabilities; and gigantic
octopi that can drag a ship down to the abyss. In fact, this book is so
invested into modern culture that hardly anyone nowadays has read it, and
it is a work that, even more than 120 years after its first publication, yet
deserves examination.
