20,000 Leagues Under the Sea


Jules Verne has written some of the best classical masterpieces the world has ever seen, including Journey to the Center of the Earth and Around the World in Eighty Days. Another one of his famous classics is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which is a classic, but not one of the better ones. The plot of the story is quite intriguing, and the characters are developed very quickly, but the book’s writing is the main deterrent from reading it. It is not written in modern language, and there are phrases and words that no one has said for a long while. The lifestyle was different then and some people were treated differently, which makes it hard to understand. Back in the day it probably would have been enjoyed and revered, but now it can’t be enjoyed as much as it should be.
