Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne

4.0

---

Pretty good for a book that's like 10% lists of fish. 3 stars for the book itself but an extra one for this excellent critical edition comparing several versions of the manuscript as well as adjacent correspondence, beautifully cataloguing the interplay between Verne's changing intentions for the story and Hetzel's moral-censorial interference (not all of which was negative).
