20000 Leagues Under The Sea - eBook

Twintigduizend mijlen onder zee door Jules Verne.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: A World Tour Underwater (French: Vingt mille lieues sous les mers: Tour du monde sous-marin) is a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne.

one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with 'Around the World in Eighty Days' and 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. Its depiction of Captain Nemo's underwater ship, the Nautilus, is regarded as ahead of its time, since it accurately describes many features of today's submarines, which in the 1860s were comparatively primitive vessels.

The title refers to the distance traveled under the various seas and not to any depth attained, since 20,000 leagues (80,000 km) is nearly twice the circumference of the Earth; the greatest depth reached in the novel is four leagues (16 kilometers or 52,493 feet, nearly five kilometers deeper than the ocean's actual maximum depth). This distinction becomes clearer when the book's French title is correctly translated: rendered literally, it should read "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" (not "Sea"). The book employs metric leagues, which are four kilometers each...
