What is this strange object that terrorizes sailors in 1866? A sea monster or a human creation? What are the secrets of the Nautilus? What do the unknown depths of the oceans hide from us? Who is Captain Nemo really?

The book you hold in your hands begins and ends with a question. And each page is filled with questions, a whole sea of unanswered questions. Of course, I am a scientist. And we scientists really enjoy questions, mysteries, and hidden secrets. If you like them too, don’t waste any time. Open the book immediately and start reading! If on the other hand, you can’t handle too many questions, then it’s better to choose another book.
