<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Join Captain Nemo and the <i>Nautilus</i> as they journey into the deep in Jules Verne's classic science fiction tale.</b> <p/>In an age that has seen the wildest speculations of science become reality, Jules Verne is regarded as both a technological prophet and one of the most exciting masters of imagination the world has ever known. Of all his novels, none is more compelling and thrilling than <i>20,000 Leagues Under the Sea</i>. This extraordinary voyage into the depths of the unknown aboard the legendary submarine <i>Nautilus</i>--commanded by the brilliant, tragic Captain Nemo--explores both the limitless possibilities of science and the twisted labyrinth of the human mind. The novel stands as science fiction raised to the level of literature and remains a vivid expression of a new era of technological advancement and humanity's place within that world. <p/> <b>Translated and with a Foreword by Mendor T. Brunetti</b><br><b>Includes an Introduction by Stephen Baxter</b><br><b> and an Afterword by Walter James Miller</b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jules Verne</b>, born in Nantes, France, in 1828, of legal and seafaring stock, was the author of innumerable adventure stories that combined a vivid imagination with a gift for popularizing science.
