| Summary | "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea" by Jules Verne is a classic science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the mysterious appearances of a massive sea creature, leading to public sensation and scientific debate about its existence. The narrative is centered on Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and Canadian whaler Ned Land as they embark on a journey to confront this enigmatic creature, which turns out to be far more than anyone anticipated. The opening of the novel sets the stage for an extraordinary adventure by detailing the widespread excitement over sightings of a colossal sea creature observed by various ships across the oceans. Professor Aronnax, recently returned from a scientific expedition, finds himself drawn into the heated debate surrounding the creature's existence. The narrative follows his decision to join the U.S. expedition aboard the frigate Abraham Lincoln, alongside his companions Conseil and Ned Land, as they pursue the supposed monster. Tension builds as they ready themselves for confrontation, establishing a sense of suspense and wonder about what lies beneath the ocean's depths. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
