20,000 leagues under the sea

Jules Verne ; illustrations by Arkady Roytman ; translated from the original French by F.P. Walter

Originally published in the late 1800s, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea has captivated readers for nearly two centuries. This edition, enhanced with lavish full-color illustrations by artist Arkady Roytman, is the premier edition of this time-honored classic. The story follows Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant, Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner, Ned Land, and dangerous mission to rid the seas of a terrifying monster that lurks in the depths of the sea. 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, but also a truly fantastic voyage from the lost city of Atlantis to the South Pole
