Twenty Thousand Miles under the Sea
About This Novel
This book is one of the masterpieces of Verne, the world-famous French science fiction writer. The author lets readers board the "Nautilus" and travel under the sea for nearly ten months at an average speed of twelve kilometers per hour. Captain Nemo and his "guests" enjoy the ever-changing strange landscapes and various creatures on the seabed. The voyage has climaxes, such as undersea hunting, visiting undersea forests, exploring the ruins of Atlantis under the sea, salvaging treasures from Spanish shipwrecks, witnessing the funeral of the Coral Kingdom, fighting giant spiders, sharks and octopuses, repelling the siege of indigenous people, etc. In the second half of the 19th century, "exotic scenes" were favored by many writers, painters and sought after by readers. The wonderful journey of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" opened up a new way for exotic scenes, which was refreshing. This is why this "ocean novel" not only became a bestseller when it was published, but also became popular among generations of readers in the future.
