For the past 120 years, readers of English have known only a poor imitation of Jules Verne's classic French novel Vingt Mille Lieues Sous les Mers and consequently relegated the writer to the category of a "boy's author." Since 1873 the standard English version has been Lewis Mercier's mangled "translation," a work that's filled with errors, mistranslations, and bogus additions, and missing nearly a quarter of Verne's original text.
Now, thanks to the life-long efforts of two Verne scholars, the English-speaking world at last has access to a definitive translation, the only English version based solely on the level of literary artist and scientific visionary, a category he has always enjoyed in Europe and Russia.
Mercier's act of literary vandalism went unnoticed until 1965, when New York University English professor Walter Miller discovered the missing text and began the restoration of the Verne masterpiece. After nearly thirty years of work, including rigorous examinations of his translation by experts in marine technology and biology, Miller teamed that Frederick Paul Walter in 1992 to create this landmark scientific and literary achievement.
Restored to the volume along with the original woodcut illustrations are the entertaining and often prescient drams of Captain Nemo, widely considered the prototypical science-fiction character. In this novel alone Verne has anticipated submarine diving planes, scuba gear, underwater laboratories, and marine ecological disasters. He also inspired large-scale underwater mining and farming of flora and fauna, and electricity from thermoclines, all currently in development.
Restoration of these visionary ideas and some twenty-three percent of the original text is certain to elevate Verne's standing in American scientific and literary circles.

評分最近晕头转向,好久没写东西了。 刚才刷牙时想到儒勒凡尔纳。一个小朋友说自己在看《海底两万里》,让我想起童年。童年的大多数课余时光是在读书中度过的,儒勒凡尔纳是那时相对喜欢的,读的也比较多的作家。大概是三四年级的时候,还写了一篇作文《神秘岛读后感》,...
評分凡尔纳的所有书中,海底两万里和八十天环游世界的情节是记得最清楚的,到现在都还能复述个大概。那时候惊见凡尔纳,就如同之后惊见乔治奥威尔一样。他们怎么能那么伟大,那么有预见性?他们是先知? 凡尔纳满足了物质匮乏精神匮乏的70后们的对外部世界和未来世界的所有好奇心...
評分一、 有关“探险” 阿龙纳斯、康塞尔、尼德•兰,机缘巧合,来到尼摩的潜艇上,随鹦鹉螺号展开海底航行。潜艇船身坚固,利用海洋中大量的氯化钠分解出来的钠发电。他们从太平洋出发,经过珊瑚岛、印度洋、红海、进入地中海、大西洋,看到许多罕见的海生动植物和水中的...
評分《海底两万里》这部书是凡尔纳三部曲中最具科幻魔力的,小时候我也读过此书,但是通过假期对这本书的重读,我对这个作品有了更加深刻的认识。 我认为这本书是一本好书,它主要讲述的是这样一个故事:一位教授阿隆纳斯先生,一为鱼叉手尼德师傅和仆人康塞尔三人为了捕捉所谓...
