French novelist Jules Verne — "the man who invented the future" — captured and intensified the human impulse to explore the world's hidden regions. Combining marvelous scientific achievements with common, everyday events, the story brims with intricate descriptions of a futuristic vessel and bizarre scenes of life on the ocean's bottom.

Rousing adventures range from a confrontation with a giant squid to an encounter with belligerent cannibals.
