Together Nemo and Aronnax explore the underwater realms of the globe undergo a transcendental experience amongst the ruins of Atlantis and plant a black flag at the South Pole. Nemo's mission is finally revealed to be a violent one - and his methods coldly efficient. Verne's classic novel has left a profound mark on subsequent centuries.
