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 villians 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.
