Jules Verne's classic science fiction fantasy carries its hero-Professor Aronnax of the Museum of Paris-on a thrilling and dangerous journey far below the waves to see what creatures live in the ocean's depths. In the process, Verne imagined a vessel that had not yet been invented: the submarine. Retold from the Jules Verne original by Lisa Church ; illustrated by Dan Andreasen.
"Combatir con calamares gigantes, sobrevivir a un terrible remolino, navegar bajo los hielos de la Antártida... ¿Hay mayor aventura? El biólogo Aronnax y sus amigos lo descubrirán a bordo del Nautilus, el submarino del misterioso capitán Nemo."--Back cover
