HarperCollins proudly presents the new series of the most beloved classic books. "The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the earth. Its breath is clean and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never alone, for he feels life moving on all sides." Scientist Pierre Aronnax and his colleagues embark on a mission to find a strange sea monster and are captured by the infamous and charming Captain Nemo, who takes them with him aboard the submarine Nautilus as prisoners. As they travel through the world's oceans, they become involved in adventures and events beyond their wildest imaginings. Visionary in its outlook, Verne's science fiction masterpiece, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, is a legendary work.
