Captain Nemo - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

It's the year 1868 and the latest newspaper reports tell of eerie disappearances of ships on the high seas! Where have the ships gone? Is there a monster in the sea? Is this monster eating the ships? Who has seen the monster? The young researchers Nadine and Pierre have many theories as to what could be behind it: A giant prehistoric octopus, an ocean vortex? They secretly sneak to the harbor and board the ship as stowaways. It is not long before their boat is attacked by the "monster". The two of them only regain consciousness on board a strange ship. The much sought-after murderous monster is actually an incredible submarine, fabulous and beautiful. The "Nautilus"! A submarine in a class of its own! Pierre and Nadine get to know the sinister, highly talented Captain Nemo. But once you've seen his submarine, you can never return to the surface. There would be no way up anyway. Who can hold their breath for 20,000 miles?

Jules Verne was born almost 200 years ago and wrote about many technical developments long before they existed. A trip to the moon, ships that can travel far below the surface of the sea, people traveling around the world in just a few days - Jules Verne foresaw all of this and turned it into exciting stories in his novels.
