ABOUT THIS BOOK

A huge monster has been terrorizing the seas. It has sunk ships and merchants no longer want to take their ships into the seas! A few brave souls—Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant, Conseil, and Ned Land, the renowned Canadian harpooner—embark on a dangerous voyage to rid the seas of the dreaded monster.

They manage to find the monster and it is not what they had expected it to be. Together with the monster called Nautilus they embark on an epic adventure filled with suspense and wonder across the deep seas. The protagonists go far from the known world and journey through the realm of the unknown seas.

Jules Verne’s futuristic foresight and imagination makes this book a compelling read for all those who love fantasy and adventure.
