Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

English • 1870 • Public Domain • Free to stream
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, published in 1870, is Jules Verne's extraordinary vision of the deep ocean. Professor Aronnax, harpooner Ned Land, and servant Conseil are captured by the mysterious Captain Nemo and taken aboard his submarine, the Nautilus — a vessel decades ahead of anything that existed. Together they travel the ocean floor, discovering wonders and horrors in equal measure, while Nemo's true nature and motivations slowly emerge.
Verne described the Nautilus in such technical detail that naval engineers read the book as a blueprint. The science has aged, but the adventure hasn't. Captain Nemo remains one of fiction's great ambiguous figures — genius, idealist, and monster in equal measure.
