Illustrated 1875 Edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: F. P. Walter Translation
This beautifully illustrated modern edition of the classic novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne has been meticulously translated by F. P. Walter and features 110 original illustrations from the 1875 English edition. Utilizing Amazon's Lookinside feature, you can easily compare this version to others, and you'll be impressed by the attention to detail and the superior quality of this particular edition.
Unlike other versions that may lack illustrations or feature small, difficult-to-read text, this edition has been carefully proofread to ensure accuracy and readability. The text is presented in an easy-to-read font similar to the original, with proper formatting, including correct indenting, spacing, footnotes, italics, and tables.
First published in French as "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers" in periodicals in 1870, and then in its first English version in 1872, this timeless classic is still considered one of Verne's greatest works and one of the earliest science fiction novels. The story follows the journey around the world of Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus, which was initially mistaken for a giant sea monster.
The description of the Nautilus is particularly noteworthy, as it accurately depicts features of submarines that were considered highly advanced for the time. The "20,000 leagues" referenced in the title refers to the distance traveled around the world, which is equivalent to more than 50,000 miles, rather than the depth of the ocean.
This edition features an approved and updated translation by F. P. Walter, which is generally considered superior to earlier translations, such as the one by Lewis Page Mercier. The complete text is presented with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a truly immersive and engaging reading experience for fans of Jules Verne's timeless masterpiece.
Whether you're a long-time fan of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" or a newcomer to the story, this beautifully crafted edition is sure to captivate and transport you, making you feel as if you're traveling the seas alongside Captain Nemo himself.
