After barely surviving an attack on the creature, the voyagers discover that their quarry is in fact a remarkably advanced submarine, the <i>Nautilus</i>. Its creator, Captain Nemo, is driven by a thirst for knowledge and by a hatred of civilization--and he refuses to let his "guests" leave. As Aronnax and his companions plot to escape, they are taken on a whirlwind tour of undersea marvels, including volcanoes, a giant squid, and the ruins of Atlantis. <i>Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea </i>is just as gripping and fantastical a read as it was a century and a half ago, when Jules Verne first imagined traveling beyond the bounds of the possible.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jules Verne</b> was born in France in 1828 and died in 1905.
