Sinopsis

The Monster Men by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a science fiction adventure set on a remote South Pacific island, where the obsessed scientist Dr. Carl von Horn attempts to create artificial human life. His experiments produce grotesque, near-human creatures, blurring the line between man and monster. When young American adventurer Virginia Maxon becomes entangled in the doctor’s dangerous world, she faces peril from both the creatures and the men who control them. As tensions rise, identity, morality, and love are tested. A tale of ambition, hubris, and the perils of playing God, The Monster Men blends jungle adventure with early sci-fi horror, showcasing Burroughs’ imaginative storytelling and fascination with the unknown.

    Herman Melville August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851); Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. Although his reputation was not high at the time of his death, the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival, and Moby-Dick grew to be considered one of the great American novels.

    "The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the 'Living Infinite.'"
    
    In 1866, ships across the globe report sightings of a mysterious and deadly sea monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner Ned Land join an expedition to hunt the creature, only to discover that the "monster" is actually a futuristic submarine: the Nautilus. Taken prisoner by the enigmatic Captain Nemo, the trio is whisked away on a 20,000-league journey beneath the waves. From the coral graveyards of the Red Sea to the sunken ruins of Atlantis and the icy barriers of the South Pole, they witness wonders and horrors hidden from the eyes of the world.
    
    A Marvel of Victorian Engineering: The true star of the novel is the Nautilus itself. Driven entirely by electricity—a novelty in Verne's time—it features a library of 12,000 volumes, a museum of rare pearls, and a massive glass window that offers a front-row seat to the mysteries of the deep. Verne's technical foresight remains a staggering achievement of the "hard" science fiction genre.
    
    The Enigma of Captain Nemo: Captain Nemo is more than a scientist; he is an exile, a rebel, and a man driven by a profound hatred for the empires of the land. His motto, Mobilis in Mobili (Moving in the Moving Element), reflects his desire for total freedom. The novel explores the tension between his genius and his thirst for vengeance against a world that took everything from him.
    
    Man vs. The Living Infinite: From the terrifying encounter with a forest of giant kelp to the legendary battle with the "pouples" (giant squids), Verne creates a world of high-stakes adventure. It is a story that captures the human spirit of discovery and the humbling power of the natural world.
    
    Dive into the unknown. Purchase "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" today and join the crew of the Nautilus.
