Translated by O. A. (Otto Aleksanteri) Joutsen
A science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and a Canadian whaler named Ned Land, as they embark on a daring underwater adventure aboard the mysterious submarine Nautilus, commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. Through their journey, they encounter various sea creatures, uncover uncharted territories, and grapple with the implications of the incredible technological advancements of their time. The opening of the novel introduces a global mystery surrounding an enormous sea creature, described as a frightening entity capable of causing devastating maritime disasters. This phenomenon captivates the public's imagination and sparks heated debates among scientists and sailors alike. Our protagonist, Professor Aronnax, returning from an expedition, becomes embroiled in this intrigue as he learns about the recent attacks on ships, including one ship, the Scotia, that narrowly escaped destruction. With mounting urgency, Aronnax accepts an invitation to join an expedition on the USS Abraham Lincoln to pursue this elusive creature, setting the stage for an adventure filled with suspense and danger on the open seas.

“The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. 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
