French marine biologist Pierre Aronnax receives a last-minute invitation, as does Canadian harpoonist Ned Land. They leave aboard the \u003ci\u003eAbraham Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e, bound for Cape Horn and then the Pacific Ocean. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut all is not as it seems. When they find the monster and attack, the \u003ci\u003eAbraham Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e is damaged and Aronnax and Land end up thrown onto the monster's hide. Except where there should be flesh there is metal. The monster is in fact a submarine called the \u003ci\u003eNautilus\u003c\/i\u003e, captained by a mysterious renegade named Nemo, who swiftly takes his former pursuers captive aboard his impossible vessel and then dives deep beneath the waves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo begins the adventure of a lifetime for Aronnax and Land, as Nemo refuses to ever let them leave in case they reveal the truth about the \u003ci\u003eNautilus\u003c\/i\u003e. Nemo is on a mission to seek out scientific knowledge and wreak revenge on the civilisation that destroyed his family, a mission that sees the \u003ci\u003eNautilus\u003c\/i\u003e explore shipwrecks, hunt sharks, visit the real Atlantis, get attacked by a giant squid and end up stuck in a terrible whirlpool. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith \u003ci\u003e20,000 Leagues Under the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, Jules Verne can rightly be considered one of the founding fathers of science fiction. This special edition is based on the original translation that popularised the novel in the English-speaking world, and features brand-new maps that establish where (under the sea) the action of the novel was meant to take place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Verne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472907183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472907189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Adlard Coles Nautical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Jules Verne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985680892159,"sku":"9781472907189","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28af7f12-5c25-443d-b696-84d095b16980.jpg?v=1683278938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/20000-leagues-under-the-sea-jules-verne-9781472907189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
