## Description

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea : Verne, Jules/ Walter, F. P. (TRN)/ Halley, Ned (AFT): desertcart.ae: Books

Review: This review is written partly as a counterbalance to some of the negative comments here. It is well produced book with a lovely cover, although the feel of it (a kind of hard velvet) is unusual in my experience. The book is also well printed (except for what looked like small ink blots on a couple of pages) and very well bound. The bookmark ribbon is a nice touch and very useful. The book is a handy size for reading. The are no glue spots on it anywhere and no ink came off it either from the cover or the pages. It seems durable enough, but the fabric cover might not stand very hard wear -- I am not in the practice of putting my books through the mill. It is good to have it unabridged and well translated which gives it a different feeling from the standard children's version I read over fifty years ago although perhaps not as much as I expected. The translation seems good although the translator sometimes uses an unusual word when a better known word would have been clearer (he uses cachalot when sperm whale would have been better). It might have been better to have had an introduction by a Verne expert rather than the translator (it is nonsense to claim that Nemo does not explain the energy source of the Nautilus). At the same time, I would have liked to know more about the translator's experience of translating Verne. I would have liked more endnotes, especially about the marine life described and the places mentioned (e.g. whether they exist or not). But there are notes and they are generally good if brief. Even more essential would have been modern maps of the voyage and I am surprised this was not done (there is a reproduction of a map of the first part of the voyage from the period but it is hard to read and there is nothing for the second part). All in all, this is an excellent edition of 20,000 Leagues and well-priced.
Review: Beautiful hardbound book. Print is legible, paper is classic, soft ivory. Comes with illustrations.

I purchased this for my Mum for Mother's Day, and she absolutely loves it. The cover design is excellent, and the quality of the book superb. Great classic.
