Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

'A strange twilight world opened up before me, and I felt as the first
man to set foot on another planet, an intruder in this mystic garden of
the deep.' When Professor Aronnax embarks on daring mission to hunt down
and destroy a mysterious sea creature that's menacing shipping he
quickly finds his quarry. But what he discovers turns out to be beyond
his wildest imagination. The beast is man-made - a vast submarine called
the Nautilus built by the renegade scientist Captain Nemo. And Aronnax
and his men become his prisoners. Trapped onboard Nemo's advanced vessel
on journey into inner space that takes them from the South Pole to the
lost city of Atlantis. More than just a thrilling adventure, Jules
Verne's book was a window on the future, predicting with uncanny
accuracy dramatic developments in deep ocean science and technology that
were almost beyond imagination. Today, Hollywood depends on its
superhero, science fiction, and action and adventure franchises. But
before THE ABYSS there was TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. In
this stunning new edition, illustrated by legendary comic book artist,
Bryan Hitch, the original book's widescreen, cinematic vision is
celebrated.
