Mini Classics. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

The world’s most beloved classics, retold in shorter, simpler versions.

What lies beneath the surface of the oceans? Professor Aronnax, together with his loyal servant Conseil and the harpooner Ned Land, sets sail aboard a frigate to uncover the truth about a mysterious sea monster. But what they discover is far more extraordinary: the Nautilus, an incredibly advanced submarine, and its enigmatic commander, Captain Nemo. Thus begins an adventurous journey through the mysteries of the deep—sunken cities, giant creatures, and unexpected dangers—leading to profound questions about freedom and the pursuit of knowledge.

• One of the most celebrated scientific and maritime adventures in world literature, retold in an accessible edition for young readers.
