Writing in France in the nineteenth century, Jules Verne captured his era's fascination with adventure and exploration in a series of novels he referred to as his Voyages extraordinaires. "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Other Classic Novels" is a unique compilation of six of Verne's best-known novels that extrapolate developing technology and scientific inquisitiveness into rousing adventures as exciting and provocative today as when they were first written.
