Book review #3
During the holidays, I have read a book named as '20000 thousand leagues under the sea’; this book is written by Jules Verne, an adventure story writer.
This story is mainly distributed into 3 sections, the first section is about how professor Aronnex, his manservant, Conseil and Ned Land land on the Nautilus, and how they met captain Nemo, the second section is about the exciting adventurous that they have done during the journey. The last section is about how the three people escaped from the Nautilus.
This book is a science fiction book which talks about the thought of the ‘submarine’ that hasn’t been investigated on that time. The story opens in the year 1866. Everyone in Europe and America is talking about a mysterious creature that has been sinking ships. Finally, the United States government decides to send out a ship named as “Abraham Lincoln” to capture and identify the creature. On board the ship are Professor Aronnax, his manservant, Conseil, and Ned Land, the king of harpooners. The Abraham Lincoln is attacked by the creature sometimes later. Aronnax, Conseil and Land go overboard.
The three men then find themselves on top of the mysterious creature, which is actually a submarine vessel, the Nautilus. They are taken on board and placed in a cell. Then they meet Captain Nemo, the commander of the vessel. He tells them they can stay on board the ship and enjoy freedom as long as they return to the cell if asked. They are never to leave the vessel again. Ned Land says he will not promise that he will not try to escape. Captain Nemo treats the men very well, especially Aronnex. The three people have their freedom to wander around the vessel at their leisure. During the board, Aronnex has write down what he has observed during the journey.
During their time on the Nautilus, the men experience exciting adventures. They hunt in underwater forests, visit an island with angry natives, visit the lost city of Atlantis, and fish for giant pearls. One night, while off the coast of Norway, Aronnax, Conseil and Land plan an escape as they realize they are heading toward a giant whirlpool—one that no ship has ever survived. Amazingly, in only a small dinghy they emerge safely. They awake in the hut of a fisherman. In the end of the story, Aronnax is awaiting his return to France and write down his memories of the journey that with Captain Nemo.
I really enjoy reading this book as this novel is filled with excitement, and I enjoy reading adventure stories.
