The Nautilus of Jules Verne: starting a fire with a lentil

Somewhere beneath the surface lies not so much the future, but vengeance. At least, if your name is Nemo. The Jules Verne classic ‘Twenty-Thousand Leagues under the Sea’ brought us the Nautilus at a time when submarine warfare was a concept yet to be fully realised. But our knowledge of the iconic submarine is tempered by a cloak called translation. Join us now as we consider this iconic artefact of science fiction. Music (from YouTube Music Library): ‘Future Rennaisance’, by Godmode; ‘Bach, Cello Suite No. 1, G Major, Prelude’, by Cooper Cannell; ‘No. 7 Alone With My Thoughts’, by Esther Abrami. #JulesVerne #translation #TwentyThousandLeaguesUndertheSea
