He ranks behind Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie as the second most translated author of all time. People made his prominent films. People often refer to Verne alongside Herbert George Wells as the "father of science fiction."
Strong opinion: I think this book is a really great book to read. Its denfinitly a unforgettable book, i love it because it is a adventure story of a person’s life in side the deep ocean and find out all sources of amazing things, and solving lots of imposiible problems.

L'histoire est pourtant passionnante. Les personnages sont fabuleux. Le génie visionnaire de Verne est tout simplement incroyable.
Mais le tout est très (trop) souvent entrecoupé de longues, très longues, listes de noms de poissons d'algues et autres curiosités, en français ou en latin... Elles s'étalent sur des pages et des pages, de façon interminable, vous faisant perdre le fil et, au bout d'un moment, même l'envie de lire plus avant.
Nul doute que les sujets marins passionnaient l'auteur. Malheureusement, pas tous ces lecteurs.
Si je devais faire découvrir Jules Verne à quelqu'un, je ne lui conseillerais pas ce livre comme première lecture.
