Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas

An Underwater Tour of the World

1869

Jules Verne

Translated from the Original French

by F. P. Walter


VERNE’S TITLE

The French title of this novel is “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”. This is accurately translated as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas—rather than the Sea, as with many English editions. Verne’s novel features a tour of the major oceans, and the term Leagues in its title is used as a measure not of depth but distance.—Ed.
