Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Works of Jules Verne: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea; A Journey

As for the selection of India as the seat of the story, Verne himself explained that his purpose was to cover, one by one, each of the countries of the globe, more especially those little known, so as to make of his completed works a sort of universal geography. Traveling under his guidance, he meant that we should travel everywhere.
