Extraordinary Voyages

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: An Underwater Tour of the World

by Jules Verne

Professor Aronnax is taken aboard the Nautilus by Captain Nemo, a man who has renounced the land and all its nations. Beneath the tour of sunken Atlantis, coral cemeteries and the giant squid lies an angry, grieving book about empire and freedom. This is another English translation; the library keeps each one, because translators disagree in interesting ways.
