Summary: "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: An Underwater Tour of the World" by Jules Verne is a classic science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book embarks on an adventurous underwater journey with Professor Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and Canadian harpooner Ned Land, as they seek to uncover the mystery of a giant sea creature that has been troubling the oceans. The opening of the novel introduces a phenomenon in the year 1866, where multiple ships report encounters with a monstrous, fast-moving creature, giving rise to public excitement and scientific debate. Professor Aronnax, recently returned from an expedition, becomes drawn into the mystery and debates the possible existence of the creature with various hypotheses about its nature. As the narrative progresses, it establishes a background of public curiosity and urgency surrounding the 'monster,' leading to the preparation of an American expedition on the frigate Abraham Lincoln, where Aronnax and his companions are invited to join in the hunt for this elusive beast. The anticipation builds as they set sail to confront a creature that could potentially reshape their understanding of the ocean's depths. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
