| Summary |
"Sukelluslaivalla maapallon ympäri" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and a Canadian whaler named Ned Land, as they embark on a daring underwater adventure aboard the mysterious submarine Nautilus, commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. Through their journey, they encounter various sea creatures, uncover uncharted territories, and grapple with the implications of the incredible technological advancements of their time. The opening of the novel introduces a global mystery surrounding an enormous sea creature, described as a frightening entity capable of causing devastating maritime disasters. This phenomenon captivates the public's imagination and sparks heated debates among scientists and sailors alike. Our protagonist, Professor Aronnax, returning from an expedition, becomes embroiled in this intrigue as he learns about the recent attacks on ships, including one ship, the Scotia, that narrowly escaped destruction. With mounting urgency, Aronnax accepts an invitation to join an expedition on the USS Abraham Lincoln to pursue this elusive creature, setting the stage for an adventure filled with suspense and danger on the open seas.
