Book description

A fresh translation from the original French texts, this edition restores material (nearly 1/4 of the book) missing from other English editions, and corrects numerous scientific and linguistic errors. It is extensively annotated and illustrated. Combining this *particular* edition with standard English editions of "20,000 Leagues" should (in my view) be strongly discouraged.
