Book Review: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, written by Jules Verne, is one of the most famous science fiction adventure novels of all time. The story follows Professor Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner Ned Land as they join Captain Nemo aboard the mysterious submarine Nautilus and embark on a journey through the world’s oceans. One of the most impressive aspects of this novel is Verne’s imagination and attention to scientific detail. The descriptions of underwater landscapes, strange sea creatures, and advanced technology (like the Nautilus) are vivid and exciting, making the reader feel as if they are truly exploring the deep sea alongside the characters. The character of Captain Nemo is also very interesting and mysterious. He is both a genius and a tragic figure, driven by his hatred for war and his desire for freedom under the sea. His complex personality adds a lot of depth to the story. I especially enjoyed the sense of adventure and discovery throughout the book. Each chapter presents new wonders and dangers, from giant squids to lost cities. At the same time, the novel raises important questions about science, nature, and humanity’s place in the world. In conclusion, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is an exciting and thought-provoking classic that still inspires readers today. I would recommend it to anyone who loves adventure stories or wants to experience one of the great works of science fiction.
