Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne. The title refers to the distance traveled while under the sea and not to a depth, as 20,000 leagues is over six times the diameter, and nearly twice the circumference of the Earth. During the year 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest to be a giant narwhal. The United States government assembles an expedition in New York City to find and destroy the monster.
