Book summary

In 1866, an unknown sea monster is reported on every ocean. Professor Aronnax sets out to hunt it down, with his servant Conseil and the harpooner Ned Land. Thrown into the sea, they are taken aboard the Nautilus, an extraordinary submarine commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo.

Prisoners of this man who has broken with the world, they travel the oceans of the globe with him and discover the wonders of an undersea world then unknown. But who is Nemo really, and why does he flee dry land?

Full of adventure and discovery, this novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

在海底徒步漫遊。法國學者阿龍納斯教授住在潛水艇鸚鵡螺號上。一天,船的主人尼莫船長邀請他到自己的森林裡打獵。教授以為他們要上岸。沒想到第二天,船長卻讓他穿上了潛水服。

The world of the book

海底,一個未知的世界。故事發生在1867年和1868年。巨大的蒸汽船橫渡大洋,卻從來沒有人見過海底。最早的潛水艇只是慢吞吞的試驗船,離不開海岸。而鸚鵡螺號卻在水下環遊世界。船上的一切都靠電力運轉,而那時人們還在用蠟燭和煤氣照明。
