Summary "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the mysterious and adventurous life beneath the oceans, focusing on the enigmatic character known as Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus, as well as the scientific explorations of Professor Pierre Aronnax, who becomes embroiled in the captain’s world. The narrative delves into the themes of marine life, exploration, and the philosophical implications of humanity's relationship with nature. At the start of the book, various reports emerge in 1866 about a gigantic sea creature spotted by numerous ships across the oceans, sparking an intense debate in the public and scientific communities. Amidst growing panic and curiosity, the narrative introduces Professor Aronnax, who, after an invitation from the American government, joins an expedition on the USS Abraham Lincoln to hunt this mysterious monster.
