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 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. Jules Verne was born on February 8, 1828. In addition to his novels, he wrote numerous plays, short stories, autobiographical accounts, poetry, songs, and scientific, artistic, and literary studies. His work has been adapted for film and television since the beginning of cinema, as well as for comic books, theater, opera, music, and video games.… (mer)
For its age, a surprisingly lucid piece of sci-fi about an underwater voyage in a deep submersion vehicle - submarine, powered by the promising new technology - electricity. Good stuff even today. ( )
This is an excellent volume of this story - it's the one I fell in love with as a child and checked out of the library more times than I could count. It was this specific book that piqued my interest in Jules Verne and authors like him (H.G. Wells, namely). The illustrations well replace the tedious descriptions of fish in the unabridged versions of the book, and I would absolutely recommend this edition to advanced elementary and middle school readers who are curious about some of the older classics that may be out of their comfort zone. It is an incredible introduction. ( )
The fourth star is because the author was a genius. When you think of where the technology of the world was when he wrote this, it is incredible. Perhaps all of the ideas weren't all his, but it's still amazing. The other pleasant surprise for me was that it is a truly enjoyable read. ( )
Fairly interesting when one dispenses with the ridiculous lists of fish species. The episode in which they are trapped under ice was particularly well written. ( )
