“You know, my friend, there is a monster out there... We will free the oceans of it! A very glorious mission... though very dangerous, too! It is one of those journeys from which one is not sure one will return home.”

In the year 1867, the frigate Abraham Lincoln is sent on an expedition to hunt the mysterious, gigantic creature that has for some time been making the world’s oceans unsafe and has caused a great many shipwrecks. On board are the natural scientist Pierre Aronnax, his unflappable assistant Conseil and the intrepid whale hunter Ned Land. When the three men go overboard in a struggle with the monster, they learn its true nature. Together with Captain Nemo and his fantastical submarine the Nautilus, they embark on an adventure that takes them through the deeps and wonders of the seas. Jules Verne’s classic of world literature in an unabridged, modern translation with a helpful afterword and notes by Volker Deh.

10 beautifully designed extras take readers back to the period of the novel, bringing the story to life and providing fascinating background information. This collectors’ edition, with its detailed, thoughtful design and authentic illustrations that inspired the author himself, will make a handsome addition to anyone’s bookshelves.
