Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea

This long-needed edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea finally does justice both to this remarkable work and to its extraordinary author. For the first time, we have access to a full English translation of the text instead of the badly cut, poorly translated, and bewilderingly expurgated earlier English editions. With the aid of superb period illustrations, thoroughgoing explanatory notes, and a scrupulously accurate rendering of Jules Verne's text, the adult reader can at last truly venture along on the fabulous voyage of the Nautilus and understand the strange and haunting genius of its commander, Captain Nemo.
