Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea was highly acclaimed when released and is still now; It is considered one of the premiere adventure novels and one of the greatest works of Verne, along with Around the World in eighty days and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The description of the ship of Nemo, called Nautilus, was considered before its time, because it describes accurately characteristics of submarines, that at the time were very primitive ships.

This work is not just one of the great adventure classics of Jules Verne, the "Father of Science Fiction", but also a truly fantastic journey from the lost city of Atlantis to the South Pole. Tells the story of Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus, as seen from the perspective of Professor Pierre Aronnax after he, his servant Conseil, and Canadian whaler Ned Land wash up on their ship.
