20.000 Mijlen Onder Zee: Oostelijk Halfrond
20.000 Mijlen Onder Zee: Oostelijk Halfrond
The oceans are being terrorized by something no ship can outrun. In 1866, French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax joins an expedition to hunt the creature, expecting to add his name to the annals of science. Instead, he is dragged beneath the waves and finds himself aboard the Nautilus, a submarine decades ahead of its time, captained by the mysterious Captain Nemo - a man who has sworn war on civilization and retreated into the black silence of the deep. What follows is a journey through the impossible: forests of swaying kelp, coral graveyards glittering like cathedrals, the frozen hell of the Antarctic, and trenches so deep that pressure would crush ordinary men. Verne wrote this in 1870. He had never seen a submarine. It didn't matter. He imagined one so precisely that engineers a century later would follow his blueprints. This is adventure, yes - but it is also a meditation on freedom, on the hunger for knowledge, and on what happens when brilliant men turn their genius toward revenge against a world that wounded them. The deep has never been darker or more beautiful.

The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite. ””

“The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and life-giving. It is an immense desert place where man is never lonely, for he senses the weaving of Creation on every hand. It is the physical embodiment of a supernatural existence... For the sea is itself nothing but love and emotion. It is the Living Infinite, as one of your poets has said. Nature manifests herself in it, with her three kingdoms: mineral, vegetable, and animal. The ocean is the vast reservoir of Nature.””
— Jules Verne
