First words |
The year 1866 was marked by a strange event, an unexplainable occurrence which is undoubtedly still fresh in everyone's memory.  In the year 1866 the whole maritime population of Europe and America was excited by a mysterious and inexplicable phenomenon.  | |

Quotations |
We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.  I leave you at liberty to shut yourself up; cannot I be allowed the same?  Like you, I am willing to live obscure, in the frail hope of bequeathing one day, to future time, the result of my labours.  At ten o'clock in the evening the sky was on fire. The atmosphere was streaked with vivid lightning. I could not bear the brightness of it; while the captain, looking at it, seemed to envy the spirit of the tempest.  | |

Last words |
Thus, to that question asked six thousand years ago by Ecclesiastes, "That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?" only two men now have the right to answer: Captain Nemo and myself. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) And to the question asked by Ecclesiastes 3,000 years ago, 'That which is far off and exceeding deep, who can find it out?' two men alone of all now living have the right to give an answer—CAPTAIN NEMO AND MYSELF.

Book description |
Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant, Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner, Ned Land, begin an extremely hazardous voyage to rid the seas of a little-known and terrifying sea monster. However, the "monster" turns out to be a giant submarine, commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo, by whom they are soon held captive. So begins not only one of the great adventure classics by Jules Verne, the 'Father of Science Fiction', but also a truly fantastic voyage from the lost city of Atlantis to the South Pole.  | |
