20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Jules Verne's classic tale of the reclusive Captain Nemo and his miracle of submarine technology, the Nautilus, begins as M. Aronnax sets out on a voyage to track down the mysterious sea monster known to have caused numerous marine disasters all over the world. With his unflappable servant Conseil always present at his side, he boards the Abraham Lincoln and sails the Pacific Ocean in search of the elusive beast. When the frigate is caught in a storm at sea, Aronnax, Conseil and the Canadian harpooner, Ned Land, are tossed overboard and fear the worst until they are rescued by the men aboard Nemo's submarine. However, rescue turns to captivity as the Captain informs them that they will never be allowed to return to their native home, but must spend the rest of their days aboard the submarine. Thus begins an odyssey around the world as Nemo reveals the wonders of the ocean, the tropical paradise of remote islands, the vast sunken treasure available to the adventurous and the fantastic beauty of the South Pole to his unwilling captives. Verne's vivid imagery and detail make this an unforgettable tale.
