When I was ten or eleven my parents gave me a colelction of adventure books. At first, I was really disappointed by the books, but the next months I enjoyed them a lot.
20000 Leagues under the Sea by Julio Verne was the first book that I read without my parents.
I was impatient to go to bed everyday to read some pages and let my mind fly to the Nautilius and Captain Nemo's adventures. I especially remember the chapters about the Atlantida, the monsters under the sea (whales, big octopus...) that you can see across the windows, the war ships that were trying to sink the submarine, the visit to the Antartida and the gadgets that they had in the submarine.
In my opinion Jules Verne was a visionary for the season he lived. Lots of the gadgets or situations he described, became real (man on the moon, submarine, etc)
