An American frigate tracking down a ship-sinking monster faces not a living creature but an incredible invention--a fantastic submarine commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo. Suddenly a devastating explosion aboard the frigate leaves just three survivors, who find themselves prisoners inside Nemo's death ship on an underwater odyssey around the world, from the pearl-laden waters of Ceylon to the icy dangers of the South Pole, as Captain Nemo, one of the greatest villains ever created, takes his revenge on all society.
More than a marvelously thrilling drama, this classic novel, written in 1870, foretells with uncanny accuracy the inventions and advanced technology of the twentieth century and has become a literary stepping-stone for generations of science fiction writers.
