Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: A World Tour Underwater (French: Vingt mille lieues sous les mers: Tour du monde sous-marin) is a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne.

one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with 'Around the World in Eighty Days' and 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'.

The book employs metric leagues, which are four kilometers each...
