'A strange twilight world opened up before me, and I felt as the first man to set foot on another planet, an intruder in this mystic garden of the deep.' When Professor Aronnax embarks on daring mission to hunt down and destroy a mysterious sea creature that's menacing shipping he quickly finds his quarry. But what he discovers turns out to be beyond his wildest imagination. The beast is man-made - a vast submarine called the Nautilus built by the renegade scientist Captain Nemo. And Aronnax and his men become his prisoners. Trapped onboard Nemo's advanced vessel on journey into inner space that takes them from the South Pole to the lost city of Atlantis. More than just a thrilling adventure, Jules Verne's book was a window on the future, predicting with uncanny accuracy dramatic developments in deep ocean science and technology that were almost beyond imagination. Today, Hollywood depends on its superhero, science fiction, and action and adventure franchises. But before THE ABYSS there was TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. In this stunning new edition, illustrated by legendary comic book artist, Bryan Hitch, the original book's widescreen, cinematic vision is celebrated.
