Summary "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The story begins with mysterious reports of a colossal sea creature that has been observed by various vessels, causing a stir among sailors and governments alike. The narrative centers on Professor Pierre Aronnax, who becomes part of an expedition aboard the warship Abraham Lincoln, led by the determined Captain Farragut, to hunt down this elusive maritime monster. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the bizarre occurrences surrounding a giant underwater entity that has been sighted across oceans, captivating the attention of the scientific community and the general public. The opening chapters depict the growing intrigue and debate about the creature's existence, setting the stage for Aronnax’s journey.
