Originally serialized in a popular French magazine, it tells the adventurous story of French Professor Arronax, his devoted young servant and assistant, Conseil and Ned Land, a Canadian whaler, all of whom are rescued at sea and held captive aboard Captain Nemo’s extraordinary submarine, the Nautilus.
