Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Walter James Miller | The Annotated Jules Verne

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has captivated readers for over a century, but only now, with the appearance of Walter James Miller's restored and annotated version, can English-speaking audiences fully appreciate the depth and brilliance of Jules Verne's original work. Through a meticulous comparison of the standard English translation and Verne's original French text, Miller has uncovered a series of remarkable discoveries that change the way we understand both the novel and its iconic author.

The standard translation, which most English readers are familiar with, is revealed to be significantly abridged—approximately 23% shorter than Verne's original. In addition, numerous scientific inaccuracies and other errors found in previous editions are shown to be the fault of the translator, not Verne. This annotated edition restores the text to its full, unabridged form, offering a richer and more rewarding reading experience.
