Praise for Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

Unbearably thrilling and romantic...full of Verne's gentle humour

Daily Mail

Among the deep-sea volcanoes, shoals of swirling fish, giant squid and sharks, Captain Nemo steers the Nautilus. Nemo is the renegade scientist par excellence, a man madly inventive in his quest for revenge

Sunday Telegraph

A tale of terror, suspense and wonder

Guardian

Fabulous...the pace is sharp and the story as dramatic and engaging as ever

Daily Express

Verne's imagination has given us some of the greatest adventure stories of all time

Daily Mail

One of the books I have read and re-read with unfailing pleasure and interest is Jules Verne's 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.... Verne's novel entranced me. I was in love with Captain Nemo, the brooding cultured misanthrope of the deeps, who combined the romantic qualities of Heathcliff and Byron with the ruthlessness of Macbeth
