Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (A Must-Read for the New Chinese Language Curriculum Standard)

"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" was published in 1870. It has a history of more than 100 years, but it is still popular around the world in various versions in multiple languages. This alone shows its strong vitality and great appeal. There are only a few characters in the book, and only four and a half are named. Farragut, the captain of the destroyer USS Abraham Lincoln, only appears briefly at the beginning of the novel, and can only be counted as half; the interior scene is just a submarine. But it was these four and a half people, such a submarine, a mysterious captain, and a scientist with extensive knowledge, who traveled 20,000 miles across the seabed for nearly a year during various adventures, telling us stories one after another, showing pictures of underwater graveyards, coral valleys, giant octopuses... The stories are thrilling, fascinating, colorful, and full of atmosphere.
