New Releases by Jules Verne

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 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This extraordinary voyage into the depths of the unknown aboard the legendary submarine Nautilus- 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.

Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant, Conseil, and the harpooner, Ned Land, begin an extremely dangerous voyage to rid the seas of a little-known and terrifying sea monster. However, the monster turns out to be a giant submarine, commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo, by whom they are soon held captive. So begins not only one of the great adventure classics by Jules Verne, the Father of Science Fiction, but also a truly fantastic voyage from the lost city of Atlantis to the South Pole.
