A Nautilus voyage through real and imagined seas

Framed as a young assistant’s account of an 1866 expedition aboard Captain Nemo’s Nautilus, Oceanology blends undersea adventure with the language of discovery. Its illustrated journey ranges across diving bells and shipwrecks, coral reefs and ice canyons, then ventures into more fantastical territory with luminous sea monsters and the legendary Atlantis. The premise also creates a fictional bridge to Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, presenting the voyage as a story passed along by its sole survivor. The book’s appeal lies in this mix of ocean subjects, submarine exploration, and imaginative extensions of a familiar literary world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in ocean exploration and submarine adventures
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated adventure fiction combining natural wonders with fantastical elements
  • Fans of Captain Nemo and the world of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Book overview

A New York Times bestseller!

Follow the fascinating journey of Captain Nemo and explore the ocean's wonders, both real and imagined ... or are they?

What if a sixteen-year-old assistant traveled aboard the storied Nautilus, the narwhal-shaped submarine of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? And what if he were the sole survivor of the ill-fated voyage and went on to relay his adventures to a certain . . . Jules Verne? Find this brave young man's own account in the lavishly illustrated Oceanology, a tale of an 1866 voyage of discovery that investigates diving bells and shipwrecks; coral reefs and ice canyons; sharks, giant octopi, and luminous sea monsters; underwater volcanoes, and even the legendary island of Atlantis.
