About this ebook

Jules Verne’s timeless underwater adventure story, freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line. 

A thrilling classic of science fiction, Verne’s adventurous underwater novel follows French Professor Pierre Aronnax, his trusty assistant Conseil, and gruff Canadian harpooner Ned Land as they investigate a supposed underwater monster.

The “monster” is revealed to be a futuristic submarine, belonging to the eccentric Captain Nemo. Thus begins their fantastical voyage, as they encounter the lost city of Atlantis, the South Pole, and the corals of the Red Sea. This celebrated work has captivated audiences of all ages as it depicts the limitless possibilities of science and the dark depths of the human mind. 

About the author

Jules Verne (1828–1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. At the age of nineteen, Verne was sent to study law in Paris but instead developed a love of theater. Verne’s first novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in 1863. This was quickly followed by his most famous works, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
