A Jules verne novella i had never heard about but recommended by a friend :)
There, finally they lived happily, united in the present as they had been in the past; but they never forgot their island, an island to which they had come bereft and naked, an island that for four years had met their every need, an island of which there now remained only a small slab of granite lashed by the Pacific waves, the tomb of a man who was once Captain Nemo!

Nothing, do you say? Nothing, perhaps, but a charming woman, who—improbable as it may appear— made him the happiest of men.
Truly would you not, for less than that, make the tour of the world?

Did I not also live this unnatural life for ten months? Thus, to that question asked six thousand years ago by Ecclesiastes, “That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?” only two men now have the right to answer: Captain Nemo and myself.

We need scarcely mention that her uncle was the illustrious Professor Hardwigg, corresponding member of all scientific, geographical, mineralogical, and geological societies of the five quarters of the globe.

pickWhat a pleasurable book to read! I just loved traveling around the world with Philéas Fogg and Passepartout. A lot happens in these pages: misunderstandings, adventures, funny encounters, etc. And there is a lot of wit and humor, with also many surprises. It also educates the reader in an entertaining way about time, rules of physics, etc.
pickIn the second half of this novel, Captain Nemo, along with the Nautilus and its hostages, encounter a series of ever so growing perilous encounters. After leaving the Mediterranean, the submarine continues through the Indian Ocean, where Professor Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land witness incredible nautical marvels. However, Ned begins to grow impatient of living in the Nautilus. Wanting freedom from his hellish aquatic prison, he plans to escape.
pickIn the first half of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, the story is told from the first-person point of view of Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French naturalist. The story begins with tales of a mysterious sea creature wreaking havoc to ships at sea, leading to rumours of it being a sea monster. Professor Aronnax, along with his servant Conseil and Canadian harpooner Ned Land, is invited onto the USS Abraham Lincoln to hunt down the creature.
