Vingt mille lieues sous les mers

Verne's vivid descriptions make the ocean feel so alive — I wonder what sparked his fascination with underwater exploration and technology.

His complex character kept me guessing — was he a hero, a villain, or something in between? Would love to hear others’ thoughts.

Verne's ideas about underwater travel were ahead of his time, but I wonder how readers from today’s perspective view his vision of science and innovation.
