Twenty Thousand Leagues — The Nautilus

Captain Nemo shows his guest the impossible ship — the library, the salon, and the sea framed like a painting.

Retold for sleep from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, first published in 1870 and long out of copyright. The story is Verne's; every sentence here is our own.
