Puffin Classics β€” the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child.

Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation, including this epic edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

A mission to rid the seas of a monstrous creature becomes a terrifying nightmare when Professor Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land are thrown overboard. The huge marine animal that has haunted the water is no living beast, but a spectacular manufactured vessel, and the three men find themselves the helpless prisoners of Captain Nemo.

Resigned to their fate, they begin a miraculous journey on the submarine ship which can travel through waters never before explored. For the Professor, at least, this voyage is one he would not have missed for the world.

About the Author

Jules Verne was born in France in 1828 and died in 1905. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel was wildly successful, producing many brilliant novels in the burgeoning genre of science fiction- 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Around the World in 80 Days, among others. Verne is the second most translated author in the world, after Agatha Christie and before Shakespeare.
