Science and adventure are electrifying accomplices in Jules Verne's classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The excitement this adventure caused around the world when it was first published 150 years ago can still be very easily imagined indeed in the twenty-first century. This modern translation by F. P. Walter restores the cuts and omits the bowdlerization made in the original English version.
