Features: This novel depicts the adventures of Professor Aronnax, his servant and harpooner Ned Land, and others as they explore the sea monster. The news of the monster appearing in the ocean had spread like wildfire. Professor Aronnax, a biologist from the Paris Museum of Natural History, along with his servant Conseil, was invited to join the crew of the Nautilus to pursue the monster. On the Nautilus, they met the harpooner—Ned Land, and together discovered that the monster feared by many sailors was actually a human-made submarine. However, they also became prisoners aboard the submarine—"Nautilus," and under the permission of Captain Nemo, they embarked on an extraordinary underwater journey. During this journey, they were repeatedly amazed by the magnificent marine landscapes and had to admire the wonders of the Nautilus and the wisdom of its owner.
