Description
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 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 marvellously 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.
