UN ÉCUEIL FUYANT

L’année 1866 fut marquée par un événement bizarre, un phénomène inexpliqué

et inexplicable que personne n’a sans doute oublié. Sans parler des rumeurs qui

agitaient les populations des ports et surexcitaient l’esprit public à l’intérieur des

continents les gens de mer furent particulièrement émus. Les négociants,

armateurs, capitaines de navires, skippers et masters de l’Europe et de

l’Amérique, officiers des marines militaires de tous pays, et, après eux, les

gouvernements des divers États des deux continents, se préoccupèrent de ce fait

au plus haut point.

En effet, depuis quelque temps, plusieurs navires s’étaient rencontrés sur mer

avec « une chose énorme » un objet long, fusiforme, parfois phosphorescent,

infiniment plus vaste et plus rapide qu’une baleine.

Les faits relatifs à cette apparition, consignés aux divers livres de bord,

s’accordaient assez exactement sur la structure de l’objet ou de l’être en

question, la vitesse inouïe de ses mouvements, la puissance surprenante de sa

locomotion, la vie particulière dont il semblait doué. Si c’était un cétacé, il

surpassait en volume tous ceux que la science avait classés jusqu’alors. Ni

Cuvier, ni Lacépède, ni M. Dumeril, ni M. de Quatrefages n’eussent admis

l’existence d’un tel monstre — à moins de l’avoir vu, ce qui s’appelle vu de

leurs propres yeux de savants.

A prendre la moyenne des observations faites à diverses reprises — en rejetant

les évaluations timides qui assignaient à cet objet une longueur de deux cents

pieds et en repoussant les opinions exagérées qui le disaient large d’un mille et

long de trois — on pouvait affirmer, cependant, que cet être phénoménal

dépassait de beaucoup toutes les dimensions admises jusqu’à ce jour par les

ichtyologistes — s’il existait toutefois.

Or, il existait, le fait en lui-même n’était plus niable, et, avec ce penchant qui

pousse au merveilleux la cervelle humaine, on comprendra l’émotion produite

dans le monde entier par cette surnaturelle apparition. Quant à la rejeter au rang

des fables, il fallait y renoncer.

Book: 20000 Leagues Under the Seas

by Jules Verne (second part)

January, 2001

🧾Part 2 In This Book___________________

ℹ️Introduction:-)

“The deepest parts of the ocean are totally unknown to us,” admits Professor

Aronnax early in this novel. “What goes on in those distant depths? What

creatures inhabit, or could inhabit, those regions twelve or fifteen miles beneath

the surface of the water? It’s almost beyond conjecture.”

Jules Verne (1828-1905) published the French equivalents of these words in

1869, and little has changed since. 126 years later, a Time cover story on deep-

sea exploration made much the same admission: “We know more about Mars

than we know about the oceans.” This reality begins to explain the dark power

and otherworldly fascination of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas.

Born in the French river town of Nantes, Verne had a lifelong passion for the

sea. First as a Paris stockbroker, later as a celebrated author and yachtsman, he

went on frequent voyages— to Britain, America, the Mediterranean. But the

specific stimulus for this novel was an 1865 fan letter from a fellow writer,

Madame George Sand. She praised Verne’s two early novels Five Weeks in a

Balloon (1863) and Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), then added: “Soon

I hope you’ll take us into the ocean depths, your characters traveling in diving

equipment perfected by your science and your imagination.” Thus inspired,

Verne created one of literature’s great rebels, a freedom fighter who plunged

beneath the waves to wage a unique form of guerilla warfare.

Initially, Verne’s narrative was influenced by the 1863 uprising of Poland against

Tsarist Russia. The Poles were quashed with a violence that appalled not only

Verne but all Europe. As originally conceived, Verne’s Captain Nemo was a

Polish nobleman whose entire family had been slaughtered by Russian troops.

Nemo builds a fabulous futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, then conducts an

underwater campaign of vengeance against his imperialist oppressor.

But in the 1860s France had to treat the Tsar as an ally, and Verne’s publisher

Pierre Hetzel pronounced the book unprintable. Verne reworked its political

content, devising new nationalities for Nemo and his great enemy—information

revealed only in a later novel, The Mysterious Island (1875); in the present work

Nemo’s background remains a dark secret. In all, the novel had a difficult

gestation. Verne and Hetzel were in constant conflict and the book went through
