An undersea voyage aboard Nemo’s submarine

Jules Verne’s classic places a mysterious submarine at the heart of an ocean-spanning adventure. After a ship-hunting expedition encounters Captain Nemo’s vessel, three survivors are held aboard as it travels from the waters of Ceylon toward the dangers of the South Pole. The journey combines maritime adventure with imaginative technology, while Nemo’s conflict with society adds a thread of revenge. First published in 1870, the novel is also notable for its vision of advanced inventions—an element that connects its sea voyage to the history of science fiction.

Book overview

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.
