Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

3.89 (232,676 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Jules Verne

Illustrated by: Edouard Riou

Three adventurers set out to kill a sea monster, but all is not as it seems. Out in the vast expanse of the Pacific they find not a beast but a submarine - the Nautilus, an advanced craft captained by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. Captured and hauled aboard, they accompany him through coral reefs, shipwrecks, and ancient ruins. There they hunt sharks, and battle giant squid, not realising that the greatest danger is Nemo himself, who will stop at nothing in his quest for vengeance.

Beautifully illustrated by the French painter Édouard Riou, who worked with Jules Verne on six of his novels, this Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea also includes an afterword by author David Stuart Davies.

Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

About Jules Verne

Jules Gabriel Verne was born in France in 1828 and was destined to follow his father into the legal profession. He trained for the bar in Paris but took more readily to literary life befriending Dumas and Hugo and making his living by writing librettos. His first science-based novel Five Weeks in a Balloon was published in 1862 and made him famous. Verne went on to write dozens more such adventures including Around the World in Eighty Days (1872). In later life he entered local politics at Amiens where he had a home and also lived in Paris in the street now named Boulevard Jules Verne. He died in 1905.
