4"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea: A Tour of the Underwater World" is a classic action-adventure novel by French author Jules Verne. Published in 1870, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" has become one of the most widely recognized novels in the science fiction genre. Much alike to the famous at-sea adventure novel "Moby Dick," naturalist Dr. Aronnax sets out on an epic conquest to capture an evasive sea monster. In this novel, their submarine, the Nautilus, Captain Nemo, and Doctor Aronnax travel deep into the uncharted territory of a hazardous sea, facing several underwater perils along the way.
