	1 Verne, Jules; Bonner, Anthony (Translated by), and Bradbury, Ray (Introduction by) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea New York Bantam Classic 1991 0553212524 / 9780553212525 24th printing Mass Market Paperback Very Good  371 pp.; 18 cm. First published under title: Vingt mille lieues sous les mers. Tight, clean copy. Browning. "An American frigate, tracking down a ship-sinking monster, faces not a living creature but an incredible invention -- a fantastic submarine commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo. Suddenly a devastating explosion leaves just three survivors, who find themselves prisoners inside Nemo's death ship on an underwater odyssey around the world from the pearl-laden waters of Ceylon to the icy dangers of the South Pole...as Captain Nemo, one of the greatest villians ever created, takes his revenge on all society. More than a marvelously thrilling drama, this classic novel, written in 1870, foretells with uncanny accuracy the inventions and advanced technology of the twentieth century and has become a literary stepping-stone for generations of science fiction writers. / Jules Verne was born on February 8, 1828, in Nantes, the port city near the mouth of the Loire. He was the eldest son of a prosperous lawyer, and when he grew up his father sent him to Paris to study law, although he put most of his energy into writing plays. Everything changed for him in 1863, when his novel Five Weeks in a Balloon was published by Jules Hetzel, and became a big bestseller. Verne and his publisher called his science fiction 'extraordinary voyages' -a great name, invoking as it does the ancient strength of this particular story type. A plethora of didactic tales followed, and Verne was hailed for his ability to weave narrative and mechanical detail. The subterranean world revealed in JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1864) both entertained readers and served as a geology lesson. From the Earth to the Moon: Passage Direct in 97 Hours and 20 Minutes (1865), set in post-bellum America, centered on space exploration. Around the World in Eighty Days appeared in 1873, garnering worldwide publicity for Verne." - Publisher.  Price: 4.95 USD Add to Shopping Cart
