20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules VerneThursday, October 11 at 2:00 PMVerne’s classic science fiction tale takes place in 1866 when ships from several nations spot a mysterious sea monster in the ocean.

Captured by its Captain Nemo, they are trapped aboard as it travels the world under the sea.
