Journey's End

Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne · Episode 6 of 6

This reader is the final episode of Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne, first published in 1870. Professor Aronnax, Ned Land, and Conseil escape from Captain Nemo's submarine as it is pulled into a deadly whirlpool. The whole story tells of ten months under the sea, where the prisoners saw marvels and terrors, and watched a brilliant man become consumed by his own darkness. This text reflects its era; a few period maritime terms and colonial references have been modernised. Verne's novel is one of the great works of scientific romance, full of wonder, adventure, and the question of how far genius may go before it becomes madness. A child who meets Captain Nemo now will understand something true about the ocean, about freedom, and about the cost of hatred.
