It was after I
watched the film, Journey to the Center of the Earth, that I bought
this book from Powerbooks. I was actually looking for the book version
of the movie. The sales lady said that they were out of stock. So I
browsed through the other works of Jules Verne and this one was the
book that got my attention.
The
story is all about the journey of Captain Nemo into the unexplored
parts of the ocean all over the world. It all started when his ship, the
Nautilus, was thought to be a humongous sea creature that has been
causing other ships to sink. The government has tasked experts to take
on a major project of bringing down this so-called sea monster. Ned
Land, a famous harpooner of whales was called to attention, as well as
Monsieur Pierre Arronax, a professor and scientist and his faithful
assistant, Conseil. The day they found the Nautilus was the day that
changed their lives forever.
